Children are very welcome, but they need a certain strength to paddle a double kayak on the front seat. Usually kids should not be younger than 12, always depending on the individual child. Please contact our office if you would like to bring your children along.
Participants should have an adventurous spirit to enjoy the rugged beauty of the British Columbia coastal wilderness and the sometimes very close encounters with whales.
