Tandem Kayak, 2 People

2 Hour Tandem Kayak Tour (Price for 2 People) runs through River Wild Kayaking. Rated 5.0 across 4 reviews. Runs 2 hours. From $110.

Overview

Two people share one tandem kayak for a two hour paddle with River Wild Kayaking, starting and finishing at the Sponge Docks area of Tarpon Springs. The meeting point is 1060 N Pinellas Ave, where parking is available in the lot alongside The Bridge Lounge. Your guide meets the group there before you head out on the water together.

The price covers both paddlers in the one boat, so a pair books once and shares a single kayak. All the equipment you need for the paddle is provided: the kayak itself, paddle and life jackets. Nothing in the way of food or drink comes with the tour, so bring whatever you want to eat or drink yourself.

The tour runs with a maximum of 8 travellers per departure. The listing states that most travellers can participate, and the route returns to the same spot where you started, so there is no shuttle or second meeting place to worry about.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you arrive prepared, since the listing keeps the setup simple and leaves food entirely up to you.

• What is provided. The kayak, paddles and life jackets are all part of the booking. Nothing else is supplied, so anything beyond that is your own gear.
• Food and drink. Snacks are specifically listed as not included. Bring water and anything you want to eat on the water, or plan for a meal elsewhere on your own schedule.
• Group size. The tour runs with a maximum of 8 travellers. The listing confirms a guide meets the group at the meeting point before you head out together.
• Getting there. You make your own way to 1060 N Pinellas Ave and park in the lot by The Bridge Lounge. The site is near public transportation and pushchair accessible, though the tour itself is not wheelchair accessible.
• Weather dependence. The operator requires good weather to run the paddle. If it is cancelled for poor conditions, you are offered a different date or a full refund rather than losing your money.
• Who can join. The listing states most travellers can participate. No prior kayaking experience is mentioned as a requirement.

Common issues. The main constraints come straight from the booking terms. Cancel less than 24 hours before the start time and there is no refund, and changes inside that same window are not accepted either. The whole experience depends on good weather, so a departure can be called off, though you then get a choice of a new date or your money back. It is not wheelchair accessible, and anyone hoping for snacks on the water needs to bring their own.
