Wanna Get Away? Blazin' Paddles offers just that!
Since I'm a local, our group drove to their office where the van would leave. Before getting on the van you sign all of the necessary forms. It's really a quick and painless process. The van takes you on a 35 minute drive to the Willow Beach Marina. It's small and the perfect spot to launch a kayak. Willow Beach Marina does have facilities to use before your kayak adventure. Each kayaker is required to wear a lifejacket. There is a little cubby in the kayak for you to keep personal items~ small but you could fit a water bottle, phone, keys.
It was a gorgeous sunny day. The water was smooth as glass. Our tour group was small and intimate. Perfect. We had a great tour guide who kind of blended into our group as just one of the guys. Our destination was Emerald Cave which was small but lovely! The water is so clear during the entire trip. Just looking to the bottom was incredible. There were also a few other stops along the way if you wanted a snack that the guide brings along. Plus you have a chance to rest and take in the scenery. Lovely!
Sometimes I forget how close some of these hidden gems are located. I thank Blazin' Paddles for a lovely adventure!
