Hello! we are not out of business and are sorry we couldn't facilitate your booking. It doesn't seem likely that you booked on Tuesday night because we have an 16 hour minimum before booking our tours. If there is anything we can do to improve your experience let us know. A refund was issued before your tour on Wednesday.

This is a beautiful river to kayak and there was an abundance of wildlife to see. Manatees, alligators, otters, and all kinds of birds were seen. Drake was a wonderful guide with lots of knowledge about the area.
