Paddling
A rentable paddling package includes canoes, approriate paddles, spraydecks, buoyancy aids and an water emptying device (bailer or sponge). This equipment is always included in the rental and is stated in our rental price list as basic equipment. In addition to basic equipment come helmets if needed and for the tour package waterproof barrels or/and sacks. These are stated as touring/whitewater equipment in the price list. Also if a kayak has separate storage hatches, it is a sea kayak and the price is stated as such.
