My husband and I booked this for our anniversary and it was such a cool experience!! Definetly a learning curve for beginners but we really enjoyed ourselves. I do recommend bringing bucket hats, sun screen, water, and a towel. Lastly, i recommend if its your first time get the tandem kayak for two so you guys can work together if you're beginners. Other than that we had a great time!!
