River kayaking can be intimidating but our experienced and knowledgeable guides will give you the instruction you need to safely and effectively navigate the river. We use super stable inflatable kayaks that are open on top (like a sit on top kayak) so you don't need to worry about rolling and being stuck upside down with your head underwater. Inflatable kayaks, also known as I.K.'s or duckies, are easy to get in and out of, even in the water, are made from the same super strong material as commercial rafts so they won't be shredded by rocks unlike cheaper sevylor brands and they are a BLAST to paddle!
