We have prepared a few answers to questions we get asked a lot to help if you are unsure of anything.
-
Absolutely. Your guide will give you lots of help and the tour begins with a training component.
-
There are inherent dangers with water based activities but all steps are taken to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable trip.
-
Generally no, you may get a slightly wet midriff or butt if it’s very windy or raining. It is still a good idea to bring along a change of clothes if you absolutely have to look your best afterwards! Or at least a change of pants or slacks.
