Yes! We welcome first time and experienced paddlers on all of our kayak trips!
Each one of our pre-trip orientations includes a lesson on how to kayak for beginners! Our trip leaders are happy to help answer any of your questions before you get started, and one of our guides will join every tour group on the water.
What are the age and weight requirements?
Children aged 12 and up are allowed to paddle their own kayak. Children under 12 can paddle in the front seat of a double kayak. Our minimum age requirement is 4 years old.
For young children, we are not able to allow lap-riding, so every participant must pay for a seat. Adults accompanying children under 12 must be comfortable paddling in the backseat while the child rides in the front. We do carry youth and child size life jackets.
Single Kayak Weight Capacity: 300 lbs.
Double Kayak Weight Capacity: 450 lbs.
I have my own kayak, but other members of my group need to rent from you. How does that work?
In this case, you are welcome to join members of your party who are guests on one of our guided tours. However, those renting from us are required to abide by the 3 hour tour duration, and are expected to turn back with the tour group.
