Important Information

You will definitely get wet on this tour (at least up to your knees and anything above that is considered a bonus). The river is 53°F/10.5°C year round. It is quite refreshing during the heat of summer, but unless you want to become part of the polar bear club, too cold for winter swimming. Bathing suits are recommended for adventurous folks that want to dive in the river during the hotter months
There is no white water here, but depending on wind, weather, and flow rates, there can be choppy water, rolling waves, and even large swells along the way. The kayaks are stable, and most people make it through the day without any “out-of-boat experiences'
