Common Questions
Do I need any experience?
Not at all! We'll give you a quick briefing and you'll pick it up in minutes. Our craft are very stable.
What if I fall in?
It's very rare with our stable craft, but that's why we provide buoyancy aids. The river is calm and shallow in most places.
Can children come?
Absolutely! Children of all ages are welcome. We have child-sized buoyancy aids and our canoes are very family-friendly.
What about dogs?
Dogs are welcome in canoes (one well-behaved dog per boat). Not recommended for kayaks.
What if the weather is bad?
Light rain is fine! If conditions are unsafe (strong winds, storms), we'll contact you to reschedule.
