WHAT TO WEAR
Wear comfortable synthetic clothes as they dry faster. The morning can get cold, so dress in layers. Bring a cap or hoodie, a waterproof shell, and waterproof pants to avoid your feet and legs getting wet from the drips from the paddle.  IMPORTANT: wear water shoes or strap sandals.  Your feet may get wet at launch & exit plus there are oyster shells buried in the mud.

WHAT TO BRING
Drinking water, sunscreen, light towel.  Dry bag or zip-lock bags are highly recommended to protect cell phones, cameras and other valuables.  We have a few dry boxes & bags on-site, first come first serve.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Our tours involve staging and hauling kayaks to/from our launch locations.  We also have minimum & maximum group sizes for our events.  During non-peak season cancellation may result in trip cancellation which impacts other bookings.  During peak season, we can often sell a seat several times over thus any cancellation is lost revenue.

*  All reservations are subject to a 10% non-refundable handling fee at the time of booking.

* Cancellations up to 7 days before the event: Full refunds of any fees paid will be given during this period, minus the 10% non-refundable handling fee. There is no charge for rescheduling during this time.

*  Cancellations within 7 days (including the 'day of ' event): all cancellations and no-shows will be charged in full with no refunds.
