Weeki Wachee Clear Kayak Ecotour

• Reservations are required for all tours.
• This is a no-exit tour. We stay in our kayaks for the duration of the tour.
• Alcohol is prohibited throughout the Weeki Wachee River by order of Hernando County.
• Well behaved adventure pups are permitted as long as they remain on a leash
• Manatees and other wildlife are wild! We cannot guarantee sightings though we do our best to take you to the places where we are most likely to see them based on the day’s conditions!

We encourage you to bring the following:

• Clothes that you don’t mind getting a little wet.
• Polarized sunglasses- A MUST FOR BEST MANATEE AND WILDLIFE VIEWING.
• Towel for after the trip.
• Reusable water bottle.
• Any extra gear you’d like. Remember- the less gear, the more visibility through the kayak.

• Every tour is given on one of our 100% clear kayaks or clear stand-up paddle boards!
• Our fleet is small (5-6 vessels) so expect an exclusive experience!
• Private tours are available – up to 10 people for $499.
• Our guides are always helpful, entertaining  and educational (and they appreciate tips).

• Yes, children 3+ are allowed on tours.
• Children 6 and under are required by law to wear a life jacket at all times while on the water.
• The ability of your child to sit in a kayak for the duration of the tour is completely up to the parent.
• We require children 30 pounds or under to bring their own life jacket as the size is very specific and safety is of utmost importance.

• Our tours are made for any skill level to participate, we will have basic tips/tricks to help you maneuver the waterways and paddling safety information. Tours will have participants of varying ability from beginner to this is not their first paddling trip! Some paddling may be considered intermediate due to conditions such as wind or tide but we try our best to paddle at a pace that is convenient for every paddler! We do require all guests to stay with the group. We also ask that all guests have upper body mobility and capacity to lift themselves out of the kayak from a seated position on the ground.

• Tips are greatly appreciated. We like to say, “If you enjoyed your ride, tip your guide!”
  Standard US gratuity is 20%! 

• YES! Our weight limit is no more than 250 pounds per person and no more than 425 pounds per 2 people that are in the same kayak.  All of our kayaks are double kayaks. Unfortunately our kayak manufacturer has given us this strict limit of 250 pounds per person and we cannot exceed this limit.

• Each of our kayaks are tandem (made for 2 paddlers). However, the seats are removable and if you have an odd number of paddlers in your party we are able to accommodate the kayak as a single. Please remember our weight limit policy, the same 250 pound PER person weight limit still applies even if taking a kayak out as a single.

• Trips that are canceled by Get Up And Go Kayaking due to inclement weather, will be rescheduled or refunded.
• Reservations that are cancelled 48 hours or more before a scheduled trip will not be charged. Those that are cancelled or in need of rescheduling within the 48 hour window of departure time will be charged full price. No-show participants, and participants who do not show up at their scheduled departure time will be charged full price unless cancelled outside of 48 hours. This includes showing up with less paddlers than the original amount booked for.
• Get Up And Go Kayaking will not launch in unsafe weather conditions. Because of this, trips may need to be cancelled or rescheduled due to safety issues. If this is the case, your reservation will be refunded in full (if it has already been paid). We will not be held responsible for any reservation that you fail to keep due to any unforeseen circumstances. We also reserve the right to change or cancel any tours due to circumstances beyond our control. In this instance, Get Up And Go Kayaking can refund the tour price, not any other expenses that may have been incurred.
