Sure, they can! We have boats that are specifically designed for younger paddlers. As long as the kids have been on the kayak, they will do fine. Beginners are welcome too! It is required that an adult is present to supervise the whole time of the excursion. With our experience, anyone under the age of 10 has a challenging time using the paddle boards while it’s much more easier using kayaks.
At Swan River, we do not allow pets. We paddle very closely to the river banks where abundant wildlife hangouts all throughout the day. Pets can get excited and they could be barking or jumping off from your boat. Occasionally, we make exceptions so please give us a call.
We discouraged anyone from bringing their own equipment to our rental facility. We offer various selections on our rental fleet to accommodate you. If you have a specific request, please give us a call or send an email to let us know.
