FYI

  • This is a guided tour. Your instructors will give you a “kayak 101” before the tour to make sure everyone is comfortable.
  • Each group must be accompanied by an adult (18 years or older). Minimum age to kayak is 3. Note: least a 16 year old in each 2 person kayak.
  • Kayaks are 2 seaters.

  • You can store any belongings you don't want to bring with you in our kiosk (purse, backpack, shoes, i-phones, etc.).
  • Shorts and T shirt are casual attire. You will not actually be getting in the water but you will still get wet as you paddle around the bay.
  • Waterproof cameras, Go Pros, or phones are suggested (at your own risk).
  • Please do not wear bug spray… that damages the clear bottoms of the kayaks. Bugs are not bad on the water so spray is not needed.
  • Tips are graciously accepted among your Tour Guides… so please pack a few extra dollars for them. ($5 per person = 15%). Thanks... now "lets GLOW"
