My sister and I (one with no kayak experience and the other with some experience) had a blast on this trip. All staff were very friendly and very attentive to our comfort as we checked in~~ getting a sense of what we knew how to do, where we were from and then making sure we were well prepared for the tour.
We learned so much from our guide Ross, and the new guide in training. Ross had an easy handle on group dynamics, moving us through in a relaxed way, planning our route and stops with the current.
We appreciated how friendly Ross was on the trip, and the new guide, too. They checked in if people fell behind, and read our group well. aAfter all, a good guide makes a tour seem effortless and fun. And even at the end as we dawdled and we're running late, the funny and gentle ways Ross encouraged us to move showed he understands people and group dynamics. In the end, we Venmo'd more money so we tipped 40/45% and it was well worth it. As a bonus, we ended up finding a whole sand dollar, a bunch of other shells and a 7" vacated lightning welk shell in perfect condition. 5/5 for organization, mellow vibe, entertainment/education, connection with nature and people in amazing Gulf Coast Florida.
