Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids joining the kayak tour?

A: There’s no strict age limit! The tour is suitable for all ages, so it's a great family activity. I brought my 8-year-old, and he had a blast paddling alongside the guide who was super patient and encouraging. Just a heads up though, younger kids might need a little help in the water.

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

A: Definitely wear something comfortable and quick-drying! I'd recommend a swimsuit or lightweight athletic wear. Don’t forget a hat and sunglasses since the sun can be pretty intense out there. It’s also good to have water shoes or sandals you don’t mind getting wet.

Q: Can we bring our dog on the kayak tour?

A: Yep, dogs are totally welcome! My pup joined us, and he loved it. Just make sure he’s comfortable in the kayak and has a life vest on. The guide was super accommodating and even gave us some tips for paddling with a dog.

Just did the kayak tour at Big Hickory Pass – Amazing Experience!

I just came back from the Private Guided Kayak Tour on Big Hickory Pass, and it was epic! The guide, Joey, was super friendly and really knowledgeable about the area. We paddled through these cool mangrove tunnels and even saw dolphins! The private beach was beautiful - I collected so many shells. If you’re considering this as a gift, it’s totally worth it!

Considering gifting the kayak tour - any advice?

I’m thinking about getting the Private Guided Kayak Tour for my boyfriend’s birthday, but I’m a little unsure. He’s not super experienced with kayaking. Do you think it’s beginner-friendly? Also, how’s the parking situation there?
