Greg & Valerie

Hello kayaking and adventure lovers!
We are Greg and Valerie Waidmann. We are the proud owners and operators of Get Up And Go Kayaking – St Augustine. We are local St Augustine residents with a deep passion and respect for our beautiful city and its historical coastal waterways. I have worked with Get Up and Go Kayaking as a corporate officer, and in my tenure, fell in love with the world of kayaking. Valerie shares the same love for kayaking and was a driving force behind our decision to make the leap into business ownership. Together, we have paddled many miles of our coastline and have experienced many magical moments. The bottlenose dolphins, the sea turtles and the manatee have become our sea life family. The Least Terns, pelicans and egrets seem to greet us each time we paddle out in our clear kayaks! These beautiful creatures, as well as the majestic sights and sounds of St Augustine, are what make us confident that we made the right decision to become Get Up and Go Kayaking tour operators.
