Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this kayak eco tour? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids can definitely join! The tour is family-friendly, and children as young as 6 can participate when accompanied by an adult. Just make sure they can fit comfortably in the kayak and wear a life vest. It's a great way to introduce them to nature and wildlife in a fun way!

Q: What should we wear for the kayak tour? Any specific recommendations?

A: Definitely wear quick-drying clothes and water shoes or sandals! A hat and sunglasses are also great for sun protection. Don't forget sunscreen! The guides provide life vests, so you don't need to worry about that, but you might feel more comfortable in a swimsuit under your clothes, just in case you get splashed.

Q: What happens if it rains? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather looks bad, the tour provider will contact you about rescheduling. They prioritize safety, so if there's any chance of storms or severe weather, it's best to postpone. They are pretty flexible about finding a new date that works for you, just make sure to check the weather a day or two before your tour!

Thinking about gifting the Kayak Eco Tour - any advice?

I'm considering getting the Kayak Eco Tour at Don Pedro Island for my boyfriend's birthday. He's super into nature and wildlife! I think it's such a cool way to explore the mangroves and see manatees. Has anyone done this? What was the best part? I'm curious how long the tour usually lasts too!
