Can we bring our own snorkel gear?
Sure!  Snorkel gear is included in your tour price but if you have your own or require a prescription mask you can bring it along.  Please note that we do not wear fins on our tours because they can stir up sediment and reduce the water visibility.

Can we bring a camera?
You may bring a camera at your own risk.  You will get wet the moment you sit in the kayak and there is no dry storage available.  On many of our tours we will have a photographer accompany the group with an underwater housing to take pictures of you both above and below the water!  The photo CDs are available for purchase after the tour.

I've never been kayaking before, can I still go?
Yes!  We offer full kayaking instruction before the tour begins.  We always have less than 10 guests for every guide so they can assist you during the tour as well.

I'm not an experienced snorkeler, can I still go?
Yes!  We offer full snorkeling instruction.  We also require that every person on the tour wear a coast guard approved Life Preserver during the kayaking and snorkeling portions of the tour. 

Do you offer private tours?
Yes!  Please contact us directly for private tour reservations and group rates.  You can email us at info@viecotours or call our toll free line 1-877-845-2925.
