Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Gear and Safety Briefing
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your tour to receive your kayak, safety gear, and a briefing so you can hit the water promptly and safely.
Bring a Dry Bag or Waterproof Case
Protect your phone, keys, and valuables from splashes with a dry bag; Ziploc bags can serve as a simple alternative.
Dress in Layers with Quick-Drying Clothes
Evenings can cool quickly on the water, so bring an extra layer to stay comfortable once the sun sets.
