KAYAKING WITH GO FUNDY

All of our kayak tours use tandem sea kayaks for guests.  Tandem kayaks provide us a with an additional safety margin in case of emergency. The areas we paddle in are highly susceptible to changing wind conditions and can become rough with little notice.  Using tandems gives us the peace of mind of a having guests in larger, more stable boats as well as the added benefit of having the extra paddling power of two people instead of one.A canoe is an open boat that is propelled by a paddle with a single blade, while a kayak is a closed boat that is propelled by a paddle with two blades. Canoes are typically wider and more stable, while kayaks are faster and more maneuverable.

No, due to the unpredicatable nature of the weather in our region, we only offer guided tours.  For rentals, we refer people to Inside Out Nature Centre in Rockwood Park

We're willing to have a conversation with you about bringing along someone from any age group.  We can discuss specifics about the tour and come to a decision about whether it is appropriate.  

Never hesitate to get in touch with any questions you may have.

The most important thing to remember is that you are going to be on and around the water.  You may get splashed, you'll likely end up with water on your lap for one reason or another..  You don't have to flip over to be exposed to the water,  you should assume that parts of you are going to get wet.  

We always recommend leaving a towel and a change of clothes (including shoes) at the beach, either in your vehicle, or we can secure it for you in ours if you arrive in an alternative manner.

1)  Footwear that you don't mind getting wet.  You can paddle in bare feet if you choose, but keep in mind sand will transfer into the boat upon entry, which can get uncomfortable rubbing on your heels.   

2)  Wear clothing that deals well with wet conditions.  Things like wool, fleece, and synthetics are ideal.  Materials like denim are usually discouraged in watersports.

3)  Dress for the conditions.  It never hurts to have a touque on a cool day.  Waterproof gloves if you have them (especially for early and late season tours when the water is colder). 

4)  Ask us for tips as the date of your tour approaches.  We'll be able to provide insight with respect to water temperature and generally weather conditions.  It never hurts to be a bit over prepared!
