Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the Merritts Mill Pond Eco Adventure?

A: There's no strict age limit, but they recommend kids be at least 6 years old for paddleboarding or kayaking. My 7-year-old had a blast! Just make sure they can swim and are comfortable in the water. It's a family-friendly experience, and younger kids must be accompanied by an adult.

Q: How does the weather affect the tours? Can we reschedule if it rains?

A: They usually operate rain or shine, but if the weather is severe, they will cancel for safety. In that case, you can reschedule for another day without any hassle. Just keep an eye on the radar, and they’ll communicate any changes as needed.

Q: What should I wear for the Merritts Mill Pond tour?

A: Wear something comfy that you don’t mind getting wet, like a swimsuit or quick-dry clothes. Water shoes are also a good idea since you'll be getting in and out of the kayak or paddleboard. Remember to bring a hat and sunscreen too!

Thinking of gifting the Merritts Mill Pond Eco Adventure!

I’m considering this for my boyfriend's birthday. We love outdoor activities! The idea of kayaking and snorkeling in such a scenic spot sounds amazing. How long do the tours usually last? Any tips for first-timers?

Just did the Merritts Mill Pond Eco Adventure and WOW!

I can't recommend this enough! It was such a chill experience paddling through those clear waters. Saw some turtles and crystal-clear springs. The guides were super knowledgeable. It's perfect for a day out, especially if you’re in Destin. Can’t wait to go back!
