Coconut Kayak Tours

I discovered this gem on Google ai. They must hate me, lol...facts are facts. This is what the Googles had to say.

" Hicks is notably outspoken against Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Tripadvisor, Viator, and Expedia. To keep costs down for his guests, he completely refuses to use online booking software or third-party booking agents. By handling all inquiries manually via phone calls, he avoids giving up 20% to 30% commission rates to tech corporations, passing those savings directly onto his customers. 🤩😍🎉👏💯😊👍

I'd like to suggest that you visit Jeffrey Taylor Hickman at the Shipwreck in Clearwater Beach. It's the area's oldest bar and a popular spot for both locals and tourists. When you go, please mention that I sent you and order The Coconut Special. Jeffrey Taylor Hickman

Ye former Beach Walk Inn.

Did you ever stay at The Beach Walk Inn? It was replaced by a new 88 room Hilton Curio Collection Hotel.

If you wish to come visit us again ...call the hotel directly and ask for the GM tell her you want the Coconut Special & KC told you to call direct, skip the OTA booking commissions by reserving direct on telephone. Save 20%! Plus I will happily take you on any of my kayak tours for 50% off!
Yes, I miss the place...but it was time. Besides I am enjoying kayaking...getting my sunshine, fresh air & exercise. Here is the link to the new Hiatus!

June Special Deal.

Hello Happys! Who wants to go see some wild monkeys in Florida? I do.

So here is the facts. Silver Springs from Clearwater Beach is a 2hr ...sometimes 2.5 hour drive. I stopped offering the destination because it is a very full day. We do the full river by kayak 5.3 miles.
But it's an ez paddle as we start at the headspring and float down with the flow.

If you try and hurry the trip you may be sore and worn out by the time you pull out. The best way is to just enjoy the free float paddling to steer. Not push thru it.
This takes 5hours at roughly 1 mile per hour.

Tampa Traffic will delay us during rush hour. Can you be ready at 7am?

We skip the Tampa rush hour and arrive just past 9am when the Silver Springs State Park Opens. We want to be one of the first folks down.
More wildlife.

I will bring us all lunch, snacks and cold drinks. There is a picnic table and port a potty stop about midway down. Bring your cameras! As we will happily pause along the way for photo ops. We pull out late afternoon and load up. It can take me 1/2 hour to call my Uber gal to take me from the pull out back to the state park to fetch my Cadillac and Kayak Trailer. Load up to head back. Hungry? Your choice...wait till we get back or I will happily stop at a decent dinner place. I know a few good ones. Fat Boys BBQ, A Mexican place...just not McDonalds. I refuse to put garbage food in myself.

Now, I have yet to buy another 7 passenger van or Suburban with 3rd row. My Cadillac XT5 SUV only seats 5 persons. Since I will be your chauffeur and tour guide for the day that leaves room for 4 persons. All you need to do is be ready to go at 7am as I will pick you up at whatever hotel or vacation cottage your staying at.

Round Trip Transportation, cold drinks, subs and snax lunch, plus State Park admission,launch fee and kayak tour of one of the most beautiful spring fed rivers in Florida...or the world really is a once in a life time trip and one you will never forget.

Here is the best part. $125.00 per person. Yes...It's a super good deal. Consider my competitor charges $79. For a 2 hr tour in cheap uncomfortable Chinese Bathtubs. You have to meet them, pay to park, bring your own cold drinks... Not with me. Again you just show up at 7am...I handle all the details from then on. Everything included. No gimmicks. Good quality kayaks, carbon fiber paddles etc... 1st class service for our first class guests. To be clear. 2 people $250. 3 persons $375. 4 people $500.

The difference here is you always get me. I continue to do this because I enjoy it...it was never about the $ from the start. 8 years in the kayak biz...1000s of happy customers.

I am hoping your a repeat customer getting to take advantage of this special trip offer.

Nope No online booking. I will keep my price low by eliminating the 20% -30% commissions and save you $ too. Simply call me at any reasonable hour and I will answer and questions and get you booked.

* Offer valid only in month of June.

July 4th weekend btw is booked.

It is funny to watch... There are 2 "Clear Kayak" operations fighting each other on the Googles with Sponsored ads. They have pushed the CPC to $1.40.… then pay 20% -30% booking commissions to OTAs like Get Your Guide or Viatour. By the time they pay an employee and insurance...believe me they are making near 0 profit. The only one making any $ is Google. Me? It's slow ..it's okay ...I'm just sitting on the sidelines watching these clowns ad war...trying to put each other out of business. When the dust settles...I will still be here.

Nice family of 7 ...took a trip up the Narrows. Intracoastal waterway. No Manatees but a pod of Dolphins passed us by. Baby dolphin...so cute. Yes despite breaking my hip & shattering femer...I am still doing kayak tours for select clients. But also busy with the new jet kayaks coming 2027.

Sorry kids, I broke my hip and shattered my femer. Surgery went well. I have a steel rod and few nails. I am healing well. But no kayaking for awhile. You may still call and I will happily refer you to one of my kayak pals closest to where your staying. I also put myself in the que to be the first ( and only) jet kayak tour service in Florida. I won't take delivery till July... but these kayaks are going to be a game changer. The avg person kayaks paddling 1 mile per hour. These travel at 5 to 7 mph. So your going to cover roughly 5x the distance. More scenery... more wildlife. Plus an optional fishing package.
See. Www.FluxjetKayaks.com
The current fleet of kayaks I still have will become rental kayaks. More big changes - but I don't want to clue in my unethical competitor.
