This day was filled with good and bad aspects, I'm not sure where I should start. When you walk in, there's a hyper dog that climbs all over you. I guess it's cute if you really love dogs, but if you don't like a dog with stinky breath literally trying to French kiss your mouth and getting black hair all over your white shirt, then it could be kind of annoying. But they do accept credit cards, so that's a plus. Their instructions are very vague on how the whole thing works. When I kayaked in the past they made sure you knew how to avoid tipping and how to properly enter and exit the watercraft. Well, literally half my group ended up tipping into the water. The kayaks were also pretty dirty. And like even though we made it clear it was our first time kayaking in Athens, they kept asking how long we thought it would take us. This became a problem because at the end we had to wait around for a good 45 minutes to come get picked up, because we didn't have our phones with us and finally another group arrived who happened to have a cell-phone, thank god. Also, it's really difficult getting out of the water at the end because it's literally all mud, so you're going to have to drive home with extremely dirty feet and like desperately try to not stain your carpet as you try to make your way to the shower. This is something to keep in mind. Maybe bring a big water bottle and clean sandals so you can wash your feet once you get back to your car. Also, try bringing a ziplock bag for your phone, so you can call them when you get done instead of waiting for them to finally remember to come and get you. They'll ask like "do you think it will take you like an hour and a half or two hours?" Being completely ignorant we just said like an hour and a half. But honestly, it probably only took us like an hour, so if you don't have your phone to call them you're going to be waiting around a super long time. That all being said, it was a lot of fun, and, more importantly, the boy working there (I think his name was Jamie) was super hot and had big arms and was pretty friendly. He alone was worth the 20 dollars and all the mud and stuff. Would definitely come back. Probably not super often, but maybe a few times a year. So yeah, expect hyper dog, expect lots of mud and plan some way to clean your feet at the end, bring a ziplock bag for your cellphone, and be ready to swoon. read more
