FAQs
-
Most canoes hold 2–3 people comfortably, making them perfect for sharing the experience rather than going solo.
-
They’re ideal. Multiple canoes can head out together, making it a great shared experience while still giving each group their own space.
-
Canoes are more open, spacious, and social - you typically paddle together and face forward. If you’re after something relaxed and shared, canoeing is the way to go.
-
Light rain won’t stop play - it’s all part of the adventure. We recommend bringing appropriate clothing.
If conditions are unsafe (e.g. high winds or extreme weather), we’ll contact you to reschedule.
