She greeted us with a mask and sanitized equipment which definitely was a huge plus to me. Of course you don't need to wear the mask while paddling since there's a good amount of distance. She had great fun facts about wildlife and nature, very friendly and personable. We never felt awkward or uncomfortable at all which I'm really thankful for, customer service is a really important to me and she definitely had it down pat. Also don't underestimate her, her upper strength is admirable. I wouldn't want to be slapped by her hahahaha, as a person who box here and there I definitely got tired pretty easy compared to her   I highly recommend it especially in these times that you do want to go do something out of the house that is still safe, also it's a good workout

We paddled along Lofton Creek. Which was very calm and beautiful. Our turn around point was a rail road bridge and just as we reached it a train crossed. It was super cool to see. Paddle boarding is my new favorite hobby! I would highly recommend.

All of the guides on our tour were friendly and helpful. After a brief instructional on how to properly row in the kayak, they helped us in our kayaks. On the tour, we stopped a couple of times for them to share their knowledge about the creek itself and abut alligators. The information was very interesting. This also gave us a time to take a breaK from ok rowing as we had been rowing against the current. I definitely recommend this company and this tour. Thanks guys for making our first kayaking experience and great one!

Came here to get my reel spooled since they're kind enough to do it for free IF they aren't busy with other customers whereas lots of their competitors (like Strike Zone spoil your rod up for freaking 12 cents/yard. Multiply that by your reels capacity. West Marine does a great job of it too. I've been in here a bunch of times and the staff is always very helpful and knowledgeable. But this time, I had Quinn help me out with spooling my rod. He's not like the other helpful employees.. He's above and beyond that. Very personable, helpful, fun to chat and swap fish "battle" stories with. Only dealt with him for about 5 minutes but he's an awesome dude and is a great addition to the fishing community. My reel looks fantastic btw! Quinn if you see this- thanks again man! TL;DR - these guys at West Marine skillfully spool up your line and rod for FREE if they aren't busy with other customers.. unlike their competitors, some of which charge 12 cents per yard- multiply that by a few hundred yards or whatever your rods capacity is.. they are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable as well. Ps- ask for Quinn to help you out with your fishing needs. He's a chill and knowledgeable guy.

I admittedly haven't needed anything for myself in years, however my kids have a boat and I popped into this store for Christmas gifts and a gift card. Naturally I had to walk around to see if anything caught my eye! You can't go into a store and not browse. The store is clean and has great displays featuring the latest and greatest for all of your watersports needs. I ran back to the boating section to pick up some outlets for the kids boat and grabbed a gift card so they could shop on their own. Checkout was a breeze and the young man efficient and friendly. Now that I will be using my kayaks again- I will be in for accessories!

I was recently in the area for a bachelorette party and we were looking for something outdoorsy to do that would be fun for our whole group. I am so glad we found this! Our group ranged in kayaking ability levels from quite adept to never-set-foot-in-one (me). Despite this, everyone in our group had a great time! For the newbies like me, you have nothing to be nervous about! I was pretty freaked out when I first got into the kayak, but our guides, Madeline and Rachel, were pros at making us all feel comfortable and prepared for the tour. The kayak is very easy to move around the water, and with just a few minutes of practice, I felt comfortable enough to start moving down the river. The guides will go at whatever pace the group wants to move. They are also very familiar with the river, and were able to point out a lot of cool plants and animals along the way. They even took us past the river's resident gator - from a safe distance! The tour lasts about 2 hours. I will admit that the last 20 minutes were the hardest for me, as my arms got pretty tired by then. But the more, ahem, athletic members of our group were totally fine. Despite this, I would absolutely recommend Amelia Adventures to anyone. Definitely check them out!
