Frequently Asked Questions

We get a lot of questions asking if our tours are appropriate for very young children:

• Every child is different, we rely of parents to make this judgement call
• Ask yourself, do you feel your child can sit still in a seat for two hours?
• We must have one person that can paddle for any youngster that cannot paddle for themselves.
• 13 years old is a good guideline for youths wanting to paddle on their own.

• Single Kayak – 260lbs max – 1 person
• Tandem Kayak (dual seating area) – 220lbs max in the rear and 170lbs max in front – 2 persons

We constantly monitor the weather right up until tour time. This includes forecast and real-time precipitation, lightning and winds. As tour launch time approaches we pay special attention to the current radar outlook.

If heavy precipitation, lightning and/or wind might lead to unsafe conditions we may go into a 30 minute weather hold and/or cancel the tour. Your guide will be in touch about 45 minutes prior to the scheduled launch time to provide updates. If we cancel we will work with guests to reschedule to another day and/or time but if not possible we will issue a full refund.
