Minimal exposure to water. I wore sneakers and it was fine and we stayed pretty dry. They have extensive gear which I suspect they use for colder conditions. They are very helpful attentive and assist in all transfers. Enjoy!

Have answered my own question with online research, which I should have done before of course. Booked for a July trip and very much looking forward to it!

Yes. Anyone with an average level of physical fitness can join the kayak tours. You don't need any previous experience, just to be an active person with a spirit of adventure. The guides will teach the basics and the pace is leisurely.

I agree with Michael about the timing; it was the same for us, and we had time for perusing Creek Street after our tour. For us, finding our guide was a little trickier. As long as you are aware that you may have to do some walking, then you'll be fine. We were with Princess as well which may have a different drop off point than Celebrity, but it was a solid 5 min walk. Luckily it's easy, as the dock is just a wide, straight area that you walk down, alongside each boat. I also remember walking through a gift shop, as it took up the entire width of that part of the dock so there was no way around. Just know your guide will be there, and keep walking until you find them! Then it's an easy walk with your guide to their office.

Very easily. The kayaks are two person and the guides are very accommodating to non or first-time paddlers. He'll have a blast!
