Q1: What are your hours of operation?
A1: On-season (March - November)
9:00 - 3:00 every day but Wednesday.
Off-season (December and February)
10:00 - 3:00 Fri. - Mon.
Closed Tue. - Thurs.
January
Closed, except by reservation
We still check phone messages and return calls even when our
office is closed! We also extend our hours, based on customer
volume and special events (festivals, 3-day weekends, etc.).
Q2: Do I need to make a reservation?
A2: No, but we recommend reservations, especially on holiday
weekends, to ensure good customer service. Three days ahead
is usually fine, but call us two weeks in advance for holiday
weekends, if possible.
If you have a reservation, we can serve you better. If you walk
in, you risk coming at a busy time and waiting. Reservations help
us help you!
Q3: Do I have to pay anything in advance if I make a reservation?
A3: Not at the present time. We try to make things easy for our
customers, so you can wait to pay until you check in on the day
of your trip.
Q3: How do your day trips work?
A3: For most day trips, you come to our location and we check
you in. Then we load you, your gear, and your boats onto our
trailers and shuttle you up river in a van. We put you in at the
location you've chosen, and you paddle back down river (with
the current!) to our location. We're conveniently located at a
boat ramp on the Suwannee.
Q4: At what times do you do trips?
We normally do trips on the hour from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., unless
prior arrangements have been made. You must check in at the
office at least 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time;
otherwise, you may depart at the next scheduled time or at our
convenience. Special departures are available by reservation
only.
Please arrive 20-30 minutes early to load for overnight trips!
Q5: Can I bring my dog?
Alligators are attracted to dogs. Large dogs can upset a canoe.
For these reasons, we recommend that you leave your dog at
home. (And your cat, too!)
The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (where we're located)
doesn't allow dogs in the park during certain events. You can
call the park office for more information at 386-364-1683.
Q6: Can I bring my mother-in-law?
That risk is completely up to you. If you capsize your canoe with
her in it, you'll hear about it at Thanksgiving dinner for decades.
