Frequently Asked Questions

Are your kayak trips suitable for beginners?

Yes! This is flat water kayaking. We also use Jackson kayaks, very wide and heavy for more stability. We recommend that beginners can ride in the front of a tandem kayak and the person in the back has most of the control.

How long is the trip? 

(Bunn) The Kayaking trip is approximately 2-3 hours from the time we leave for the drop off points. While we want everyone to enjoy their time on the river please be considerate of your time on the river as there are other trips planned throughout the day.

(Bunn) The tubing trips are from 2 hours to longer depending on the flow and level of the river, if it is too low we may have to cancel or you could walk more than you float. However, it is also a great time for the kids to explore.

(Robertson Millpond) This trip around the pond can be done in 1 hour at a steady paddle, nothing extraneous. If you are wanting a leisurely paddle we recommend an additional hour.

Is there a weight limit?

Our kayaks will hold up to 300 pounds, however over 250 is when the boat becomes more and more unstable. The same goes for tubing.

Do I need a reservation?

Yes, all of our river activities need to be reserved online. We have limited walk-up space available.

Can I bring my own tube or kayak (Bunn location)?
We apologize but currently we do not have the space to haul folks and their vessels at the same time. We listen to suggestions and try to make adjustments as we can throughout the season to make it more accommodating.

What is the cancellation policy?

Are there age limits?

Children must be 10 years or older to go alone in a solo kayak. Children between 5 and 10 years old are welcome to ride in a tandem kayak with an adult. Tubing age limit starts at 5 years old. We will require and adult to have their tube buckled to any child under 8 years old.

Yes. There are several banks throughout the trip suitable for eating a lunch or snack. NO GLASS OR STYROFOAM allowed. Please be sure to pick up your trash, a bag will be provided to you if needed. Small coolers are available for rent with ice. If you bring your own cooler the kayaks are well suited for a 12.25” x 12.25” hard cooler (this is the size of the small Igloo Cube). We expect to consume responsibly, we are family friendly.

Do I have to wear a life jacket?

You are required to wear your PFD at the Robertson Millpond Preserve, Wendell at all times.
