Frequently Asked Questions
Here's a list of questions we get asked every day:
1) Will we see Dolphins and Manatees?
Dolphins swim by us periodically on our kayak tours. It doesn't happen every day, but when it does, it's awesome! Manatees are very rare and if we see them it will only be in the summer months. Dolphins may surface next to our kayaks a few times per month.

2) Will we see Alligators?
Since we are paddling in a salt-water mangrove estuary, it's unlikely that we'll see any alligators. In fact, we've never seen an alligator on any of our kayak tours. Alligators prefer fresh water and mostly live in the Everglades.

3) What do we do if it rains?
Southwest Florida weather is always unpredictable. It's unlikely that it will rain in the mornings ever, because it usually rains in the afternoons during summer. If it does rain, it feels really refreshing on a hot day. We still depart if it's raining. If it's a downpour or there are dangerous conditions like lightning, then we'll cancel or reschedule.

4) Do I need any experience?
No experience needed. We give a breif introduction before every kayak tour. The water is usually calm and shallow, so if you fall out of your kayak... just stand up. If you get tired, our guides are equipped with ropes and will be happy to tow you until you can paddle again.

5) Do you have tandem kayaks?
We call double (2-seater kayaks) a "Divorce Kayak." Everyone fights when they are in them. So unless you have children under age 12, we suggest riding in a single seater kayak. Doubles are also good if you have an injury and somebody else can paddle for you.

6) What can I bring with on the kayak
tour?
Bring water shoes, water to drink, sunscreen and a hat. We'll be in the sun for a good portion of the tour so it's important to stay hydrated and lathered up in sunscreen. You don't need to bring snacks or food, we'll only be on the water for 2.5 hours. We might get out on a sand bar if the tide is low enough.
