Glow kayaking with my sister! - My sister wanted to go glow kayaking. It was cold that night (58° when we started and 51°when we were finniished) but it didn't feel that cold. The two young gentleman did a great job. They helped us in and out of the kayaks. And the one that directed us did a great job keeping an eye on everyone and showing us wild life. Great experience! We would go kayaking with this company again!

Very fun and unique adventure! - This was so fun! Jake and Trey were there long before the start time and had everything set up and ready to go. All we had to do was take off our shoes and hop in! We saw some beautiful yellow crowned night herons. We had no idea what they were, but our guide, Jake, knew. We also saw many raccoons. We didn’t see much in the water, but I confess I was busy watching everyone else glide around in their glowing boats and kept forgetting to look down 😂. Jake did a great job of making sure everyone stayed somewhat together so he knew where everyone was and that they were safe. I’d love to do this again soon! Great job, Jake and Trey!

Take your family on this tour with Jake and Trey! - Amazing tour! Perfectly organized and exactly as planned. This crew really knows the river and their stuff! Jake and Trey were amazing. They made us all comfortable! In a group of 12-70 that’s not an easy task! They made sure we were all safe and all had an incredible time at our own pace. Gorgeous tour and worth every penny! It was a highlight of the vacation for everyone. The boats themselves are so so cool! The lights make it an even cooler unique experience. Jake and Trey mentioned other Get up and Go locations and we will absolutely be checking them out as well thanks to their endorsement. Thanks yall :)
