Needing a getaway from the stress of our jobs and the hectic
environment of the world we booked a night kayak with Along the Banks and Drake. Not only did our group achieve the escape we craved but the experience exceeded our expectations. Drake is an amazing guide, personable and his love for the river and area comes thru. He also knows how to balance narration with quiet to let nature be the star.
Paddling along the clear water of the Chassawhitzka was just breathtaking as the shadows became longer and the sounds of the wild came alive with the night closing in. Its a different perspective most never see to appreciate.
We reached our sunset spot and hung out to watch the gradual fading of the light and lovely colors. On the journey back the stars steal the show as they dotted the sky becoming brighter as total darkness descended. With no light pollution they were breathtaking. An even bigger treat fireflies!! A wonderful light show to compliment to stars….
Drake had a few surprises I wont spoil, but when you go out with him ask about the creature that rose from the river to give us all a fun thrill! Drake most of all. 😂 I highly urge you to go on this tour. As long time kayakers this was something new and really beautiful. Perfect antidote to our over lit, over stessed, over busy lives! We will do another tour with him soon!
