About
Enjoy an hour or a full day on the water in one of our tandem sit inside kayaks!
Important
To rent a sit-inside kayak we require that participants know how to do a wet exit and have a rescue plan; if these boats flip over they take skill and experience to get back into. Once on site you will be expected to take a Wet Exit & Rescue Quiz and sign an agreement form. If you don't have this experience please take a class or schedule a lesson with us first, or feel free to rent a tandem sit-on-top kayak instead!
