Wild Horse Island Kayak Tour

Tandem kayaks are suggested if you have a member of your party who might not be able to/want to paddle the entire distance.

Boots, jeans, and cotton warm-up bottoms such as sweats are NOT ALLOWED as they become easily saturated and make for unsafe paddling.

Not at all! This tour is perfect for all ages and experience levels.

Mother Nature is unpredictable! If there are strong winds on the day your tour is scheduled, we may be able move your tour to a more protected location on the lake or reschedule your tour for another day. Your safety is our primary concern so if there are dangerous paddling conditions, we will cancel and issue a refund.

In order to match you with the kayak/board that fits each paddler, we will request the height and weight of each participant.

It is also vital that we know the paddling experience level of each participant and any relevant medical issues so we can ensure the comfort and the safety of each paddler in a group.
