At Happy Goat Adventures, we welcome everyone to join us on our adventures and events, but we do recommend that participants on our recreational activities be moderately fit since our focus is on physical activity. Whether you're new to adventure sports or a seasoned pro, we strive to create an inclusive environment where beginners are more than welcome. Please note that some equipment such as our paddleboards do have a weight limit to ensure everyone's safety. So, while physical fitness is important, we also cater to individuals of varying skill levels, making it an enjoyable experience for all. For our Animal Interactions, physical requirements are less restrictive since the activity is catered to include individuals with special needs. We only ask that any medical devices, tubes, and wires be secured on the individual or under clothing as not to get pulled or tangled during any animal encounters. We strive to make our Animal Interactions inclusive and accommodating for individuals of all abilities, and our trained staff will work with each participant to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. If you have any specific concerns or questions about physical requirements, please feel free to reach out to us directly.

There are a few factors that can make the bioluminescence seem more or less bright. Bioluminescence is naturally occuring and the warmer summer months produce more dinoflagellates (bioluminescent plankton) in Florida. Moon phases and cloud cover can also affect how bright the bioluminescence appears. Our goal on these trips is to find the "hot pockets" where the bioluminescence is most vibrant, and we carefully consider these factors when planning our tours to ensure the best the best chance of experiencing the breathtaking beauty of this phenomenon during our bioluminescent tours.

Alligators are usually present in most bodies of fresh water in Florida so there is always a chance of an encounter. However, as with any other animal, if you leave them alone, they will usually ignore you. We have chosen to tour areas that are tried and true, where we see minimal alligator activity. Our experienced guides are trained to identify and avoid potential risks, ensuring a safe and enjoyable adventure for all our clients.
