Adventure Tips

Wear layers you can paddle in

Weather can shift quickly near the coast; bring breathable, water-resistant clothing that allows freedom of movement.

Bring a dry bag for personal items

Keep phones, cameras, and extra clothing secure and dry while on the water.

Check tide schedules before booking

Timing your tour around tidal highs and lows ensures the best views and safest conditions.

Don’t forget sunscreen

Even on cloudy days, reflected light off the water can cause sunburn during longer paddles.
