📍 Where to Meet
101 W Miracle Strip Parkway

⏰ Please Arrive 15 Minutes Early
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled tour departure.
Our tours are intentionally kept small, so we cannot ask the rest of the group to wait for late parties. We are unable to wait more than 10 minutes past the scheduled departure time. Please give yourself plenty of time to find us, park, and meet your guide.
🚻 Restroom Notice
Our onsite restrooms are currently closed for remodeling, so please plan to use a restroom before arriving.
⚖️ Important Weight Restrictions
For the safety of our guests, our clear kayaks have the following limits:
Maximum 250 lbs. per person
Maximum 425 lbs. combined between both paddlers in one kayak
If a kayak rides too close to the surface of the water and is at risk of taking on water, our guides may restrict participation in the interest of safety. Please contact us as soon as possible if you have any questions or concerns about these limits.
☀️ What to Know Before You Go
Sunscreen + Bug Spray: These products can damage the clarity of our kayaks, so please apply them at least 15 minutes before your tour. They may not be applied while in the kayaks.
What to Wear: Comfortable, exercise-style clothing is perfect! Dress appropriately for the day’s temperature. During cooler winter months, we recommend bringing a light jacket or windbreaker.
Shoes: Shoes are not worn inside our clear kayaks, so please be prepared to remove them before getting in. On cooler days, socks can help keep your feet comfortable.
Alcohol + Smoking: Alcohol and smoking are prohibited during the tour.
🛶 Your Clear Kayak Eco Tour
Your guided paddle will last approximately 2 hours, and your guide will be happy to take photos along the way so you can focus on enjoying the experience!
Our tours are rooted in education, stewardship, and responsible ecotourism. This is a true wildlife experience, which means wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed. That’s part of what makes exploring a natural ecosystem so special! Your guide will help you look for wildlife as well as the signs and clues animals leave behind.
💙 Paddling With a Purpose
Conserving WILD Florida is one of our greatest passions at Get Up and Go Kayaking. A portion of every guest’s tour supports Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge and its work helping local wildlife.
Thank you for choosing to adventure with us and for giving us the opportunity to share this beautiful part of the Emerald Coast with you.
If you have any questions before your tour, please reach out. We’re happy to help!
See you on the water soon! 🌊🛶
