What's Not Included?

• Food and drinks
• Hotel pickup and drop-off

• Service animals allowed
• Suitable for all physical fitness levels
• This activity is suitable for beginners, but please note that kayaks are easier to control and more stable than canoes and paddle boards.
• Canoes have 2 seats. The 3rd person or children will have to sit on the (often wet) floor of the canoe.
• Helpful hint! If you choose to canoe, it's important to understand that canoes are designed for 2 people and have only 2 seats. It is possible to put 3 if one is a child who will sit on the floor, but we do not recommend putting 4 in a canoe. Experience tell us that children under 10 probably won't want to paddle the whole time, so they should go in a canoe with an adult or ride in a kayak that could be towed. The best configuration puts at least 1 adult per canoe, no more than 2 adults or 2 adults + 1 child in a canoe ( 1 adult with 3 children won't work in 1 canoe). Extra participants can take a kayak or paddleboard.
• Minimum weight for children is 20 lbs/ 10 kg
• Participants must be 13 yrs or older and max. weight of 250 lbs/ 113 kg to use a paddleboard.
• Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately.
• If you bring any valuables make sure they are in a waterproof bag (can be purchased on site). The bottom of the canoe/kayak can get wet with water coming off your paddle.
• Calm dogs on a leash are allowed.
• Participants 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult 18 and over.
• Max time for return 7 p.m. (depending on sunset).
