Notes:
(1) 2 Person minimum on this trip. If you are a party of one, you must call and reserve a space on a trip with 2 or more people.
(2) NPS Campsites are under a Paddle Sports reservation. 6 people, 2 tents per site max. No campfires. Alcohol is permitted for responsible campers. Quiet hours are at 10:00pm every night, but the beach is a short walk from the camping area for those of you wanting to enjoy the island past 10pm. All trash must be carried out, so please plan accordingly.
(3) Second day of kayaking is subject to current island conditions. Summer conditions at the islands allow for very calm morning paddling. Expect fog and unbelievably calm seas.
(4) Third day of kayaking is subject to available spaces on Scorpion Caves and Coves Tour.
(5) Paddle Sports is not licensed to guide snorkeling. We can, however, suggest some amazing spots where you can look at the crystal clear wilderness below your kayak or on your own time from the beach.
(6) Camping gear includes: Cooking equipment for 6 (plates, cups, bowls, etc.), frying pans, boiling pots, 2-burner propane stove, 5-gallon propane tank, propane lantern that extends from propane tank, lighter, bio-degradable soap, sponge, and trash bags. Paddle Sports does not cook your food. |
