I was a little worried about this trip because I'm not someone who exercises, but our guide, Zach, assured me he would tow me if necessary. Also, no one in my family had ever been kayaking. Despite that my 13 year old son was at the front of the pack the entire time and my 10 year old daughter loved being in the two person kayak with Zach. We all had a great time and I didn't even need Zach to tow me because we went at a slow pace, stopped several times to hear about the area, and it was on flat water. We cannot wait to try another trip!!
