After a comprehensive safety and paddling tutorial, you’ll be set to go.  You’ll paddle through a mix of gentle currents, playful waves, and fun Class II–III whitewater (based on conditions).

Expect to get wet, laugh a lot, and maybe even take a swim—intentionally or not! It’s all part of the experience.
