What to expect
Paddling is the quietest way to see the wild. We launch on glassy alpine lakes at dawn, drift past herons on slow rivers and explore shoreline coves that hikers never reach — with a guide reading the water and the wildlife the whole way.
Stable boats, PFDs and paddles are included and sized to you. Beginners learn the strokes in ten minutes; seasoned paddlers can push further upstream. It is the most relaxing trip we run — and the one guests repeat most.
What is included
- Guided paddles for all skill levels
- Stable kayaks, canoes and SUPs
- Wildlife-rich routes, dawn departures
- Dry bags and PFDs included
- Sunset and full-moon paddles
- Private lessons available
