What to Bring
Drinking water, sunscreen, bug spray, waterproof camera/phone, change of clothes, towels.
Hydration: vital to your safety and enjoyment in the great outdoors. Take this advice seriously. Proper hydration for outdoor activities in the hot Florida Sun begins the night before your adventure. We offer our guests cold water on all our Kayak Adventure Tours. We recommend bringing at least a liter (a gallon for a full day tour) when the sweat factor is high.
Food: trips of four or more hours think snacks, picnics, and water. Four hour GeoAdventures include munchies and refreshments.
Blood sugar issues: Kayaking burns a lot of energy. Everyone is encouraged to bring their favorite snacks. It is nice to take a snack break on longer tours.
Camera: Take nothing but pictures. Be mindful that if you couldn?t stand to loose or ruin something; leave it on shore. Most mobile phones are waterproof today. Having a lanyard for the camera to hang around your neck will prevent dropping your phone overboard.
Medication: Bring any emergency medicine you may need. Even if there is only a remote chance of needing it on your short trip. For example: Epipen, Nitroglycerin, Insulin.
Gratuity: bring cash to tip. Tips are never expected, but always appreciated. When compelled to give a sign of your appreciation and admiration for your guide and crew? cash is best.
What to Wear
Shoes that will stay on your feet, a hat, quick dry clothing, sunglasses. Long sleeve UV guard and pants are recommended on mid-day and longer trips.
Cold weather: Waterproof clothing, with extra base layers, gloves, ear protection and water resistant outer layers is crucial. Wetsuit or Drysuit is the best if there is a good chance of being drenched.
Water shoes: No brainer if you smell what we?re stepping in here. By far the best option will be closed toe and have firm thick soles.
Flip-flops: Many people enjoy wearing flip flops. A great option for convenience and comfort, not safety. Shoes without heel straps are prone to float away and stick to the ground then splash mud up your backside when you walk in the water. You will likely have to walk in water!
Other shoes: old sneakers, Crocs, jellies, sandals are all great options for getting wet. Just make sure you have a dry pair to change into after the trip. After your kayak tour is when a pair of flip flops is handy.
Vibe on These Dynamics
We insist on small groups to minimize impacts on the delicate Ecosystems and Biospheres being explored. To maintain small group dynamics, large groups are broken up into waves. GeoTrippin?Sightseeing Tours and epic GeoAdventures navigate much tighter terrain than your average commercial Eco Tour outfitter in St. Augustine. Close groups travel at the perfect speed. Get deep in a swamp, tight under a camouflaged tunnel, go further up a creek, trek to hidden GeoTreasures, or lounge on deserted shores.
