Pre-trip: RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL TOURS, RENTALS AND LESSONS. We are only open by appointment only.

This applies to rentals as well.  Numbering or assigning kayaks to specific guides and clients. This will make it easier to quarantine kayaks and contact trace if client or guide present with symptoms  Wear disposable gloves when handling dirty gear and discard after each use. Wash hands immediately after gloves are removed.  If reusable gloves are worn, gloves should be dedicated to handling dirty gear and should not be used for other purposes.
