Additional Information
Can I wear flip-flops or go bare foot in the kayak? Why?
Well, you have to wear shoes, cannot go barefoot and we recommend sandals with a back strap or tennis shoes because they protect your feet. We will keep your feet dry while getting in and out of the kayak so don’t worry about that. Once in the kayak, it’s better to have something that will stay on your foot because you use your feet to move the rudder.
If you have never kayaked before, what is the best kayak trip to go on first?
If this is your first time kayaking with us or in general, we recommend doing our trip that leaves out of the Marina in downtown St. Augustine. It is a smooth, easy paddle that will be a good first trip for you. If you want to come back and find you have a newfound love for kayaking, we have many different off-site trips available for our more seasoned paddlers.
How often do the Kayaks roll over?
We use top of the line Necky Kayaks that are some of the most stable kayaks in the Industry. Rolling the Kayak happens very rarely and the chances of it actually happening are slim.
