WEATHER & WATER CONDITIONS PERMITTING.

Spend a lovely day on the water exploring Spray Lake. Spectacular mountain views.Great way to spend a day out in the countryside. We'd be spending 2.5 hours on the lake and after that, have a picnic lunch by the lakeshore, go swimming or just chill out. Bring food for yourself and food you'd like to share. Don't bring for 20 people though :o)

Beginners are welcome. There is no real lesson, but newbies will be assisted until comfortable. The kayaks provided will be recreational kayaks mostly without rudders. PFDs and Paddles are provided.

NO JEANS TO BE WORN. Jeans in water not a good idea. Bring a spare change of clothes in case you get splashed or decide to go for a swim.
