FRequently asked Questions
Our advice would be early morning or late afternoon to avoid North Carolina’s harsh sun. Extreme weather conditions can be a common occurrence so preparing yourself is important. Having the correct light clothing and plenty of water for hydration is highly recommended.
We provide your kayak, paddle and life vest, we’ll also provide instruction and direction. We do however encourage people dress appropriately with light weight clothing avoiding dark colours and water shoes are a good option. It’s essential you bring water (Aussie Mike often has bottled water for sale) for hydration. It is Mandatory that someone in your party brings a phone in case of emergency (dry bags available for rent upon request).
Our guides do accept and greatly appreciate tips! Standard gratuity is usually 20%, but feel free to tip your guide more if you loved their tour!
We ask that you plan to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your tour start time.
Yes is the short answer. All of Aussie Yaks tours are designed for leisure, family friendly fun. Lets not forget you are not in a lake so their is a current to contend with along with wind chop depending on conditions but Aussie Yaks doesn’t take risk’s so if the conditions aren’t safe you’ll be offered rescheduling and if that isn’t possible full refund available.
Due to extreme weather conditions rescheduling and cancellations unfortunately do occur. Firstly we’ll try to reschedule but let me reassure you that if you don’t paddle you’ll get a 100% refund. If we start and complete 50% this will be considered non refundable however you you will always have the option to reschedule before departure.
