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.
