  Odds & Ends (back to top)
 

Many people ask about tipping our guides. We leave that up to you. A successful trip for you is our staff's ultimate goal. If you feel they have provided quality service during your stay, a standard gratuity of 10-15% per day would be appreciated upon departure. This will be shared equally among the guides. If you feel a particular guide or staff member offered outstanding service, individual gratuities are discretionary.

While you're here, you may also want to spend time enjoying some of the other pleasures of our area. Gulf Shores' beautiful beaches, great seafood restaurants and nine championship golf courses are all within minutes of the lodge. Let us know the interests of your group and we'll recommend an itinerary that's fun for everyone.
