The boat will stay within a reasonable distance in case of emergency or to assist paddlers who are ill, cold, tired, or need a restroom visit. Once finished with the paddle portion of the kayak trip, board the boat for a ride back to shore.
Trips are approximately 4-5 hours long, plan to kayak around 2 hours (approximately 5 miles).
