First time on a clear kayak and what a blast our host, he was fantastic! I definitely recommend doing this event.

I suggest getting a tandem kayak so u can have a break paddling once in awhile. Not much time for any breaks. A LOT more paddling than I was expecting. It’s not leisurely except in the mangrove tunnels. The clear kayaks are cool but mostly we were moving too fast to see much and the bottom of boat is wet from the paddles so not real clear.

Well I'm not sure exactly what you could have been expecting, but you got exactly what we advertised. You saw wildlife from a clear kayak, visited Shell Key, collected shells, and travelled through the beautiful canopies of the mangrove tunnels. Our website does indeed state that this tour is " a 4-mile paddle, and you must be in at the least a moderate physical condition to complete the tour." And your confirmation email also states the same as well, and that the "tour may not suitable for folks who are elderly or obese. " So it seems you did not do a very good job of paying attention to the information describing the kayak tour. I believe I will give YOU a three-star rating on how well you pay attention in making purchasing decisions. - Sebastian.
