* We have come across a few recent reviews online which are always good for others to see and hear as well as we are pleased by how many who return to kayak with us multiple times over the years and share reviews which are positive but a comment or two relating to nature tour reviews we noticed could have had a possible more pleasant time on tour by looking at our common Question and Answer page or calling us for guidance on what to expect during a 2 hour tour. If looking for best times on wild life viewing (based off tides which change daily and lower tide tours tend to fill up faster or maybe limited to the cycle of the timing of tide rotation) or information about a tour’s speed or average water time of 80-100 minutes (rentals are more of a water time, with most common being 2 hr kayak rental and people still only out about 80-100 minutes average because of heat and tidal currents that are under estimated). Before scheduling kayaking, look over the Question and Answer page which answers most common asked questions we are asked that we wanted to bring more attention to on the front page by mentioning it again, so not just in the page links, which will help guide you in your planning for kayaking, otherwise gives us a call if you have further questions we might be able to help with.
