Will I get wet?
Yes, you will get wet and you must know how to swim! Treat kayaking like going to a waterpark. It depends on the ride, but you have a very good chance of going swimming and getting soaking wet. 90% of people don’t get more than their butts wet, but the chance exists so dress for it!
Should I bring my cell phone?
Cell phones do not float, so they should be in a dry bag or attached to you in a lanyard. If you drop your cell phone in the harbor/ocean you will lose it.
We sell dry bags and phone cases in the shop.
Do you have lockers?
Yes, they are $3 per locker.
Do we have changing rooms?
Yes, changing rooms are in the back of the shop next to the lockers. You can use these to change into your water clothing or a wetsuit that you rent from us.
What is your "rental cancelation" policy?
FULL refund if cancelled prior to 24 hours from departure time..
