Kayaking

If you like to be in, on or around the water, I would suggest going kayaking!

On a recent trip to Florida, my significant other and I were looking for new activities to try. While looking, we came across a company that provides kayaks and paddle boards to customers. And let me tell you, it was a great experience.

I will admit, I was definitely a little nervous. I did not want to be responsible for steering, and I did not want to flip the kayak. Thankfully, we did not flip over (but we definitely came close once or twice).

My nerves eventually settled, and I had a relaxing time. The experience of sitting on the water and feeling the breeze gave me a sense of peace. A few times during our experience, it felt as if we were sitting in the same place.

The hardest part of the experience was making sure I was paddling on the same side of the kayak as my significant other. But, it was not too hard to figure out.

The company that we used promoted a glow in the dark experience, which made it even more special for me. We were also given the option to purchase glow in the dark necklaces, bracelets and paint.

Although I had a great time, there are a few things that I wish I would’ve done differently:

1. Wear shorts. The bottom of your pants will get wet when stepping in and out of the water.

2. Put my hair in a ponytail or bun. We took advantage of the face paint the company offers. As a result, my hair was blown into the paint on my face.

If you have never tried kayaking, I would highly recommend giving it a try!
