Questions and Answers
Lyndsey D. poses a very good question, because if you look at their website, it states “Half-day local canoe trips start at $30 per person.” Which means, if second person in canoe pays full price, then the price for 2 in a canoe would be $45, $15 for the first and $30 for the second? Is that right? Or does $15 pay for the canoe with two people? Makes a huge difference.
I dont see where the locations are at?
I’ve got twin 6 yr old boys, would I need to purchase tickets for them or do I need to purchase tickets for my wife and myself only?
also, if it IS half price for the first person and full price for the second, are we allowed to purchase a groupon for each paddler?
Are little children (4 & 7) permitted? Would the cost include 1 adult & 2 children, or is each person charged?
Hi Janice – The locations vary based on the trips, so when you call to schedule your trip, he will tell you the exact locations.
Everyone else, Mark, the owner, will be on to answer your questions shortly. Thanks for your patience!

Hey everybody Im the owner of Wildlife Services of Florida Mark"Wildman" Burrow Im here to answer your questions so shot them at me, or if you would like give me a call 941-685-3673
Lydsey it is 15 per person if you do not purchase a coupon for the second person then they would pay full price
To answer the main questions being asked as far as I know you can buy multiple tickets this would be the best deal.
Young children are aloud to come along under the age of 12 are no charge on this deal
Where are the trips generally located? We’re interested in buying several for a group trip while we have family in town, but they want to make sure they don’t go too close to highways, and what the cover is like, is it direct sunlight, or partial shade? is it on the hillsborough river… on the bay…. how can we find more details about location and schedule? it’s pretty vague on the website, although it sounds exciting :)
Hi Lyndsey – Please feel free to contact Mark for exact details: 941-685-3673. I know that these trips are very much centered around nature/in a very natural setting, so I imagine highways will be far from sight. I would suggest calling Mark.

Sounds fun! I’m going to buy a ticket for me and my son. Mark, you will be very busy with this great deal…Good luck, LOL!
this would be so so ideal for my grandson’s 7th birthday! His mom would like to go but has a 4 month old who is nursing and wondered if the baby can come? too dangerous?
if not some other adult will accompany him.
Hi Marsea – I would definitely call Mark to ask about the baby. This is a fantastic idea for a birthday party!
Thanks!

Hey Bari how goes the coupon?
Baby are Fine I have taken mine since they were nursing. As long as your partners dont mind its ok with me. The trips are a little more laid back
Hi, how many are in a canoe? we have three small kids would we fit in two canoes?
Hi Stacey – Please call Mark to find out the amount of people that can fit into the canoe.
Thanks,

WARNING: Just drove and hour and a half to meet Mark for a trip & he didn’t show! Good luck if you wasted your money on this groupon!
Christine where are you located and where did he ask you to meet him? I am ready to use mine so curious. Have you heard from him yet ?
Hi Christine – I can assure you that this is not a waste of money and that Mark is incredibly professional. Have you connected with him yet? I am sure there was some misunderstanding. Please let me know if you have talked to him and sorted this out. If not I will be happy to contact him myself.
Sorry about this!

I too have had no luck with this groupon, made and confirmed reservations for my son and his friends to take this trip bought $120 in groupons for them all while there were in town and did not hear back from Mark for the time or place to meet after several calls and emails he promised to forward the directions… no such luck. After texting him @ 6AM the next morning… I found out he was sick and was not going to make it. I’m glad my son and his friends did not make the drive from Tampa to Sarasota. Yes, I understand he was sick, but he never did get back to me to re-scedule. As much as I wanted to go on this trip… depending on someone like this in the wilderness makes me uncomfortable. I have 8 groupons I cannot use now, my son and his group are back up north and I havn’t heard from anyone at Wildlife services of Florida either…sheesh. :( Now what? $120.00 for what??? 8 printed “Groupons” I can’t use. Dissappointed to say the least.
Hi Lesli,
I am sorry to hear about this! Have you rescheduled the trip???? Mark is very accommodating and I am sure he will be make this up to you. Let me know what happens!

Hello,
I called a couple of weeks ago and we agreed on a date of 8/14, but the gentleman asked me to send him a confirmation through his website, which I did. I haven’t heard anything back, so I sent him another message via his website today, and I will call him too. I just want to document incase I have a problem, thanks, Tina Lakhotia
I spoke to Mark about the expiration date and he said not to worry about it and he will take it after the expired date. There is no website or number to call him? The business website is no longer up?
Hi Janice – Try this: (941) 685-3673 or wildman@wildlifeservicesfl.com
Does this mean that if there are two people in the canoe the second pays full price without the groupon, or is the groupon $15/canoe?
Thanks!
