Adventure Tips
Wear quick-drying clothing
Since you'll get splashed and possibly swim or rest on the kayak, opt for lightweight, quick-drying attire.
Bring plenty of water for your pup
Hydration is essential for your dog, especially on warm, sunny days on the water.
Start early in the day
Morning trips often experience calmer waters and softer light, ideal for photos and a more relaxed paddle.
Check the weather forecast
