| What
We Provide |
Before
your trip you will be invited to an orientation meeting in order
to meet the rest of your paddling team, the guide(s) and safety
kayakers. At this meeting there will be opportunities for you
to ask any questions that you may have and discuss any personal
requirements, such as a special diet or medical conditions that
could affect your time with us.
We have our own private transportation to take you to and from
the river. When our own coach is not available then we provide
a privately booked alternative.
We provide plentiful, healthy and hygienically prepared food and
drinks.
Along with our high quality self-bailing rafts, we provide helmets,
plastic paddles, wetsuits (during winter), lifejackets, dry bags,
camera barrels, all necessary safety and medical equipment. Tents
and sleeping mats are also provided. Sleeping bags can be supplied
upon request.
All our equipment is of the highest quality, clean and well maintained. |
