Breakaway Excursions has their finger on the pulse of fun.....
Excitement awaits & adventures are always better when you can absorb the whole experience with less or lowered anxiety & pure enjoyment of everything. Breakaway Excursions specializes in communication, training & trust that will increase your comfort levels, so you have little to worry about & should just focus on fun.
Operating out of Mantua, Ohio with access to the surrounding areas, Breakaway Excursions is located in the heart of FUN that has a seemingly endless number of indoor/outdoor activities for all ages all year round. I honestly wish we lived closer; it is one of those beautiful parts of Ohio that taps into every sense. Your life will be enhanced through visiting the intentionally preserved & manicured parks with ample opportunities to take in the wonders of a more natural environment.
Breakaway Excursions is a unique doorway to your escape. They offered so many activities for all seasons. We called in & spoke to Pam, who highlighted several options for a family fun day. We are a family of four (4) with two (2) young daughters ages seven (7) & nine (9), so based on Pam’s confidence, we decided to go for something different & exciting, a KAYAKING trip. Our Breakaway Excursions’ adventure was their recommended “medium” package of about 5.5 miles down the winding Cuyahoga River. While there may be online options & certainly plenty of information, we received answers to all our concerns or questions, such as proper attire & footwear (dress for weather & movement free of friction or clothing rub spots & footwear that is safe with heal support & may get wet), then reserved the kayaks for a specific time & paid by phone.
We met Pam at the Breakaway Excursions’ outlet. Parking is free behind their building. Pam finalized the paperwork with us, made sure we had something to protect our essential belongings (an inexpensive rental - waterproof plastic box), & fitted all of us in comfortable & quality safety wear (life jackets). I am a larger dad, and I’m glad to say - no worries - they had the equipment & kayaks for all shapes & sizes. Pam then ran through some basic, intro training that our girls could watch without the stress of being on the water yet.
While Doug loaded up the four (4) individual kayaks, we made sure everyone made a restroom stop on site. We were off on a short ride to the selected launch. Doug unloaded the kayaks onto the ground & then ran through another rowing instruction & training on how kayaks will handle in the water. Doug assisted everybody into our kayaks one by one, & then again gave basic skills reinforcement to reduce any panic or built-up anxiety from the little ones. I don’t think I could ask for better guidance & patience that helped reassure all of us but especially the kids. We were off on a breath-taking voyage that cost us just over $100!!! What a true Breakaway Excursion.....
Doug & Pam were great people, very assuring & non-assuming. We were kayaking at a leisure enjoyable pace, which lasted about three (3) hours. Doug let us know a marker when to call him as to time-up the pick up without rush or pressure. The entire experience was excellent & better than expected from the children, because they caught right on from the tutorials & were off & rowing. Breakaway Excursions should franchise the fun, wish we had something similar closer to us!!
Great experience!!
Having never been Kayaking I took one of their beginner classes. I’m so glad I did – I loved it!!
The ages of our group ranged from 11 to 70. It’s true - Any age really can learn to Kayak!!! Doug and Pam were very nice and easy to work with. They did a great job working with the group and took the extra time to work one on one with everyone.
I learned so much and had such a fun time!!! I can’t wait to go on one of their river excursions!!!
I would definitely recommend Breakaway Excursions!!
