FAQs
What kind of kayaks are used for the tour?
All of our kayaks have clear bottoms with a custom LED light system so you can see through the water beneath you. They are all tandem kayaks.
Are there any weight or height restrictions for the kayaks?
We use tandem kayaks with a 385 lb maximum combined weight limit between both riders. This means two people in your party will ride together in one kayak, and their combined weight must be under 385 lbs. If your combined weight exceeds 385 lbs or you are over 6’5’’ tall, please notify us within the first few hours of booking so we can make arrangements for single kayaks.
