Feeling adventurous? Get out on the water and paddle a one person inflatable kayak! Learn the basic skills with a guide and then try it out for yourself. More excitement than rafting without requiring very much skill. If you are interested in eventually doing some white water kayaking, the duckie is a great way to try out solo boating! You get huge hits! The duckies are very stable which helps to keep you from flipping over when you hit those big holes and waves. A guide will be there to assist you as you navigate class II rapids.
Participants must have good swimming skills and be confident in the water.
