FAQs
Feeling uncertain about how the beginner adventure kayaking lessons work? Find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions below!
Can I just sign up for a single lesson or do I have to purchase the complete package?
Yes! The package is a better value if you were to do all of the trips, but you can sign up for a single tour, if desired. Just go to our registration page and you can purchase a single trip.
Do I have to do the lessons in any specific order?
No! You can do any trip at any time—no specific order required! : )
Is there a time limit, or can I do all three lessons in a sprint?
Yes! You can do all three lessons as quickly as you’d like. Alternately, if you’d like to stretch them out, you can take up to two years to complete them all. We’re flexible and it’s up to you!
