CLOTHING AND SHOES: Riders are required to walk in 1 foot deep water to get in and out of the kayak. While paddling, the kayaks will likely take on some water and the seat may get wet. Therefore, we recommend that all riders wear appropriate clothing and water shoes or sandals.
CANCELLATIONS: If we cancel a reservation due to the weather or other factors, we will attempt to notify the purchaser by email and issue them a 100% refund. If the purchaser cancels/reschedules more than 1 hour before their reservation starts we will issue them a 100% refund. We do not issue refunds for cancellations or reschedules less than 1 hour before the reservation starts.
LATE ARRIVALS AND NO SHOWS: We encourage participants to arrive 5-10 minutes before their reservation. We are not able to extend the duration of rentals if participants arrive late. We do not issue refunds if participants do not show up for the reservation.
LATE RETURNS: If riders do not return by the return time they are provided by our staff, they must call us at (614) 943-3411 so we know they are not experiencing an emergency and so we can notify other customers who are waiting for their equipment. The purchaser of the reservation is responsible to pay $10 per kayak for each 5min the equipment is late. Ex. If 4 kayaks are 10min late the fee is 4 x $10 x 2 = $80.
