Family of 7 met up at Rock Springs for a fantastic few hours led by Jeremy our excellent guide. Most of us had not been in a kayak before so Jeremy was very patient with us and is very knowledgeable about the area and local wildlife too which was very insightful. Really enjoyed his company and the whole group had an amazing few hours. To top it off the weather was brilliant and the water crystal clear. Early morning was the best choice for us as we avoided the crowds and better for the kids with it being cooler. One tip is to definitely go for a swim at the stop point you wonā€™t regret it. Amazing trip thanks again Jeremy šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

A big shout out to you and your family for joining us at Rock Springs! We're honored you chose to explore with us for your first ever kayak adventure! Jeremy is awesome - it makes us happy to hear you enjoyed paddling alongside of him. The morning tours will tend to have less water traffic for sure! We can't thank you enough for paddling out with us! We hope to see you all again next time!

I have seen a few negative comments about 'Get Up and Go Kayaking' and I wanted to put in my thoughts from my experience with them. We found out about this tour through YouTube and were very excited to participate. Unfortunately, once we had arrived, we were told it was cancelled due to lightening within the 7-mile radius, and bad wind. Of course this is disappointing news to us, However we still want to give a 5-star rating to this company. I believe Jacob was supposed to be our tour guide for the 2.30pm tour on Aug. 18th and upon arrival, he was very friendly, funny and explained a few of the outcomes that could happen due to the uncertainty of the weather. I will say that if it is raining, you still will go out, and they only cancel if safety is compromised - in our case, it was. Jacob fully explained that with the branches, flat land and the environment we are in, it is better to stay safe than have accidents and we were given several options as a solution. We could either re-schedule for another date, or have a full refund. Due to not having the time to re-schedule, we opted for a refund (this being the only reason we did not re-book). By the time I had got home, we had received an email about this and everything is being dealt with in a very timely manner. I could not fault the staff who communicate with us, and conduct these tours. We said in the car home that Jacob seemed like he would have been a fantastic guide to have - you can see from how he talks about the tour that he genuinely has a passion and interest in doing them. We hope this is passed onto Jacob, and know we appreciated his kindness and friendly manner. A 5-star review based on the customer service we experienced and what we know would have been a great tour. Safety is their number one priority, and that is something we cannot fault. Hopefully if we return from the UK in the future, we will be able to take part fully! Thank you, Get Up and Go!

Wow - this is amazing. Thank you so much for the kind words about Jacob and our support staff. We HATE having to cancel any of our tours because we want to give all of our guests the best possible experience ever. We understand that cancelling due to bad weather is a pain for everyone involved and sometimes it has made people give us negative feedback despite us refunding in full or being overly accommodating. We never want to put people in unsafe conditions and I am glad Jacob fully explained this to you guys! To receive a 5 star review on a tour we had to cancel is something I'm not sure I've ever seen before and I will personally give Jacob a bonus for his communication with you guys. Also, next time you guys are in FL please send me a personal email at [email protected] and mention this experience/review I'd gladly like to offer some extras for the time you've taken to drive out to the tour and it getting cancelled as well as the time it took you to write us this great feedback. I can't tell you how much this review is appreciated and made my day. -Justin Founder of Get Up And Go Kayaking
