Every tour menu is subject to change based on seasonal availability or theme of that tour/collaboration.

Each type of tour has a different menu catering to a tour type time of day. Morning tours will be breakfast oriented items as an example. The premise generally is a mix of charcuterie meat items and seasonal items, cheeses, fruits and often some surprises mixed in.

We do all the preparation and cater for you. Please advise if there are any dietary restrictions to be aware of before your scheduled date.

Weather reports are reviewed 48 and and then rechecked 24 hours before every launch and relayed to you on forecasted conditions.

Should weather be a factor we will recommend rescheduling your tour.

In general the Humber River tour is shielded from lake effects and except for downpour tends to always be favourable in every condition including rain.

If there is a need for the guests to reschedule because life can throw us a curve ball here and there please try to advise us one week (7 days) before your tour launch date.

Paddle Canada Level 2 certification is specifically oriented to helping with boat re-entry.

Safety and steps in case that situation occurs will be reviewed before your launch.

There is ZERO intention to kayak roll on these tours (not great for the food to be rolling around in the boat with you).

If rolling is something you're interested in we're happy to point you to a number of kayak courses that are better suited to learning how to roll.

As an activity on the water rolling is not 100% risk free. The style of boat, weather conditions and what a paddler does or does not do to control stability will greatly increase or reduce the risk of rolling.

1 to 3.

If you require to book more guests to reserve please contact us first to review third party rental/bring your own boat and/or special accommodations for a larger group tour or team building exercise.

1. shoes/water shoes that are designed for or that you don't mind getting wet

2. drinking water

3. extra clothing/plan for the weather/sunscreen

4. Swimming suits are fine but the intention of these tours are NOT to get wet but also not restricted if you do want to go for a dip. Depending the tour, location is more favourable than others to go for a swim.

Guide's personal choice: morning/breakfast tours. Geared for the morning person 
You'll likely see more animals on these tours and everything is just more peaceful... including the tide where mornings always tend to have flatter water/less challenges to offer like other boaters big and small.

Every tour provides something unique to discover. Sunset Tours with Toronto as your backdrop provide memorable views.

Moon Paddles are FULL moon tours *exclusive to full moon calendar dates" where on a clear night the moon's reflection illuminates your visibility.
