The rental includes life jackets and paddles and starts with a safety and use clinic so every guest—novice or experienced—receives basic orientation before launch.

What the day feels like
What the day feels like
A full day on the water means you’ll move through a short, supervised prep phase into hours of independent paddling, floating or team rafting—the rental supplies life jackets and paddles and begins with a safety clinic so the day is as much about confident competence as it is about open water time.
