Inn-Based Tours
- Our inn-based kayak tours are fully van supported, and we eat at local restaurants and sleep in beds every night. This makes packing a breeze! You can bring as much as you want honestly, but we recommend a normal-sized rolling suitcase and a backpack or dry bag for day use while on the water. Guides will carry snacks and beverages during the day and your luggage will be waiting for you at your room when you arrive each afternoon. Below are a few things that guests on past trips have enjoyed:
- Water bottle
- A windbreaker or rain jacket for sun and wind protection
- Sunglasses
- Shoes to wear while paddling
- Multiple comfy outfits for evenings on the town
