Experience paddling in a safe learning environment and gain confidence in your abilities with this adaptive paddling program. Choose to paddle solo or as a passenger in a tandem canoe or kayak.
Meet your guide and get started with on-land instruction and a safety briefing. Adjust the gear to your stature and be on the water soon thereafter. Enjoy a guided eco-tour as a passenger in a tandem canoe or tandem kayak, with your guide doing all the paddling.
Alternatively, plan to paddle solo in one of the watercrafts. Take meaningful precautions to avoid unintended capsizes, however, small crafts are unstable and water dripping off the paddle into your lap is possible. Dress for immersion by wearing clothes made of synthetic materials that are comfortable and dry out quickly.
Avoid any cotton clothing and dress with a long sleeve shirt and long pants to avoid insects and sunburns. For exposed skin, bring sunscreen and plan to apply often. Your feet will get wet up to the knee. Water shoes, closed-toed sandals, or old sneakers are a great kayaking choice.
Crocs, flip-flops, hiking boots, and rain boots are not good options. Bring a large brim hat with an under-chin strap and sunglasses. Bring paddling gloves or cycling/workout gloves to prevent blisters and sunburn.
