Ages 10+; participants under 18 need a legal guardian to sign. Single kayaks are for guests under 250 lbs; large inflatable kayaks are for one person over 250 lbs and taller than 6'3 and have limited availability. You must wear the provided helmet and PFD; helmets fit up to 62 cm head circumference and PFDs up to 56 inch chest size.
If you cancel more than 30 days in advance, a $10 per person cancellation fee is retained. If you cancel 30 days or less in advance, you forfeit the entire cost of your trip. Customers receive a full refund or credit if the operator cancels due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
Where do I check in for the trip?
Registration takes place at 7 Main St. in Charlemont, MA. Park in the unpaved lot, then head up the stairs to the kiosk outside the red building; guides will direct you to the appropriate pavilion.
What happens if I arrive late?
Please arrive on time so the trip can start punctually. If you are late, you may not be able to be accommodated, and late guests are not refunded.
What should I wear and bring?
Expect anything you bring in the kayak to get wet. Wear wool or synthetic layers (no cotton), and you must wear sneakers or other secure shoes (no flip-flops or Crocs). Bring any required medications, and plan to leave valuables, dry clothes, and towels locked in your vehicle.
Do I need to complete a waiver before arriving?
Yes. Each participant needs to sign a waiver before arriving, and a parent or legal guardian must sign for anyone under 18.
Do trips run in bad weather, and what if the operator cancels?
Activities run regardless of the weather, and river conditions can vary. If the operator cancels due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, the cancellation decision is made just prior to the trip start time and customers receive a refund or credit.
