Everything You Need to Know
Are you interested in learning more about kayaking and what we do at Kayak Trips and Training? Here you’ll find a number of frequently asked questions about our services and offerings. If your question isn't answered here, please contact us and we will answer it ASAP.
Can I take your class or come on a trip if I can't swim?
Absolutely! We require everyone to wear a PFD / life jacket at all times when near the water, and we are trained to keep you safe. If you are comfortable with the idea that you will be getting wet, and could possibly end up floating in a lake or down the river in your life jacket, we will have you loving kayaking by the end of your class / trip!
Are your trips and classes truly safe for children?
If your child is comfortable around water, they are going to love kayaking. Our classes on the river are limited to 15 years or older, but our guided trips are great for all ages.
What types of boats are available to rent?
We have a variety of sit-in kayaks as well as a few different types of sit-on-top kayaks. Our current fleet includes:
Sit-in Models: Dagger Axis 10.5', Dagger Stratos 12.5', Wilderness Aspire 10.5', Jackson Traverse 9ft and 10ft
Sit-On-Top Models: Perception Tribe 9.5' and 11.5', Perception Tribe Tandem 13.5' (two person), Dagger Torrent (white water)
Is there a local outfitter you can recommend for gear and boats?
Festive Water in Cumming GA, has a great selection of quality gear and boats. If they don't have it in stock, they can order almost anything you are looking for. They are also very active in the local paddling community!
