For your information, we have return shuttles every hour at the arrival points to take you back to your car.
Can I take my time on the route?

Can my dog go canoeing with me?

What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing, perhaps a swimsuit if you want to take a dip in the river.
If I book online, can I cancel and get a refund?

What is the difference between a canoe and a kayak?
The difference between a canoe and a kayak is that a canoe is wider, more stable, and more comfortable in terms of seating because you are seated like in a chair with a backrest.
For kayaks, it’s a bit more athletic, more maneuverable, and you sit with your legs extended.
