While most of the items you will need will be provided for you, we suggest bringing your favorite beach towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat and most importantly shoes that you won’t mind getting wet.  We recommend water shoes as the area around the beach could be rocky or have jagged shells.  Here is a link to our favorite water shoes: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083QFBN54?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

We will have extra beach towels and sunscreen should you forget.

Your entire tour should last approximately three (3) hours.  The paddle to the beach will be about 45 minutes long (based on experience level.). Once at our arrival point you’ll go for a 10 to 15 minute walk and return for your amazing dining experience.  You’ll have some time alone on the beach to soak in the beautiful views of the Gulf and then we will head back with a leisurely paddle to burn off those calories.

Each guest will be provided with a waterproof storage box which will hold your keys, phones and wallets.  We recommend leaving any larger items in your vehicle but we do have dry bags available to store any of those larger items.

You are welcome to bring both however, we’d like you to “unplug” for the duration of your tour to enjoy your time with your significant other.  We have the latest in video and photography equipment to capture all of your moments both from the ground and from the air. Within a week of the completion of your tour, we will email you with a personalized video and photographs of your tour.  This is included in your tour price.

Prior to departing we will go over some paddling basics and conduct a safety briefing. Based on your fitness and experience level we will cater our tour to you.  Those that have paddling experience may chose a longer route to our destination as there are many inlets to explore.  If you are new to paddling, not to worry!  This will be your opportunity to experience paddling for the first time in a beautiful smooth setting while still reaching our destination on time.

Our single kayaks can carry up to 400 pounds, while our tandem kayaks can carry up to 600 pounds.

The short answer is, yes, but mostly from the knees down. The boarding area is a shallow ramp where you will need to step foot in the water to get on your kayak.  Once on the kayak you may experience some splashing from the paddle as you row but that is normal.  Upon arrival at our destination, you will exit on the beach in shallow water.  Our staff will be there to assist you should you require any assistance.
