Here are some common questions and answers about your clear kayaking tour.

What does the clear kayak tour include?

Our tour includes a 100% clear kayak, paddles, dry bag, life vests, safety whistle, and one of our local tour guides! 

All groups are doubled up and may be placed with the tour guide or as a single depending on availability.  

The group size: We ensure that each tour group will have no more than 10 guests per tour.

Observing Local Wildlife: Nature's surprises await you with every paddle. While we can't guarantee the appearance of specific animals, the abundance of local wildlife ensures that every tour will be a rewarding and insightful experience. 

Are children allowed to join the tour?

Minimum Age: 3 years of age 

Life Jacket Requirement:  For the safety of all children on our tours, it's mandatory that children under 6 wear a life jacket at all times while on the water.  Clear Kayaking Adventures will supply life jackets for children and adults.

Are clear kayaks safe?

The standard material for hard-plastic clear kayaks is polycarbonate, also used in the making of “bulletproof glass”.  Polycarbonate is thermoformed, meaning a single sheet of the material is heated and molded to the shape of the kayak. This creates a strong, impact-resistant kayak hull.

Is there a weight limit capacity for the clear kayaks?  

Our clear kayaks are setup as tandem (for 2 people) kayaks.    

The kayaks are rated to hold up to 425 lbs. (193kg) total for two riders with no single person over 250 pounds (113kg) in the group.   This means the combined weight cannot exceed 425 lbs. weight limit.

What should I bring on the tour?

We recommend bringing a bathing suit, polarized sunglasses, bottle of water, and a towel.   

We also suggest you bring a set of dry clothes in case yours get wet. 

Do I have to have experience in kayaking?

Our tours are beginner & family friendly.  Clear kayaking adventures are generally suitable for people of all skill levels, including beginners. Our kayaks are stable and easy to maneuver, making them accessible to those with little or no kayaking experience. 

Should we tip our tour guide?

We appreciate your choice to spend your time with us and want your experience to be exceptional in every way.   While tipping is optional, our guides do appreciate any gratuity based on the quality of service you receive.
