FAQs

Here are some commonly asked questions about our Guided Kayak Nature Tours and Rentals

Simply decide if you would like a guided tour or prefer to rent your own kayak. Then choose the day and time that you wish to tour with us or rent one of our kayaks.

We will contact you the evening prior to your rental and provide with our cell # and make sure that you know everything that you need to know.

There are alligators in Florida. We don’t provide tours in areas that normally would have any significant population of gators. Remember also that gators really just want to eat, sleep and make more gators. They usually eat things like fish, turtles, etc.

 Ideally you should protect your skin from the sun, either with sun block or sun protective clothing. Sun protective hats and clothing are good idea too.  And please don’t forget to bring your sunglasses and a camera

We have both! When you book your kayak, the booking software will ask you if you would like a single or double. And all of our equipment is brand new and the highest quality.  We only use the safest and most stable kayak available – OCEAN Kayaks.
