Answers For [Forecast Q1-2025] - Canoe Trip

Hello, everyone. My name is Clark Davidson. I am one of the founders of River Adventures and I am here to tell you about our canoe trips.

Many people have asked me if a person has to be fit to join one of our canoe expeditions.

My response is always yes.

Although you don't have to be a professional athlete to participate, you should have some strength and stamina.

1When you are on the water in the canoe, you will need to guide the boat and advance with the current which is usually very rapid. If you are not fit enough, you may be blown away and lose the right route.

Sometimesyou will be carrying the canoes for periods of time.

Although the canoes are not heavy, they are bulky and carrying them for even a short while can be exhausting.

2For those of you concerned about security, you should know that all of our canoes are equipped with an alarm system that will sound in the event anyone ever tries to steal your canoe.

Though most canoe brands have insurance policy, they don't have such system we have, and that's why we can better take care of your canoe.

Our canoes are state-of-the-art and quite expensive. We want to make sure all of our canoes are secured when unattended.

Guess what, these canoes also have cable locks.

Some parents have asked if we have canoe trips for unaccompanied or underage children.

Yes, we do. For children who come here alone, we have arranged professional instructors who will accompany and guide them.

3As for children under 18. there is a special route for their canoe trips . The distance is much shorter than the average and the wave is not fast at all.

But you have to know that kids must beat least 8 years old to participate.

We do not recommend the adult canoe trips for the kids, even if accompanied by adults.

When you go on one of our canoe trips, we recommend that you bring with you a few items that will make for a more comfortable and pleasurable trip.

4Be sure to bring some washable shoes, as you are likely to get your feet wet when getting in and out of the boat and during the journey.

We don't recommend rubber boots, as they can fill up with water and become heavy and most importantly, they are not good for swimming.

Also, you may not need to bring mosquito spray and sun lotion this month, as it's not hot and humid.

5But a sweater should be considered.

The temperatures are sometimes chilly on these canoe trips and you'll be glad you have something to keep you warm.

As for food and water, you should know that we provide three meals per day.

6But since canoe trips will consume one's strength quickly, bringing some high energy snacks with you can be a good idea.

They are a good choice as they're not heavy, they don't take up much space, and even a small protein bar can provide plenty of energy.

7Also, bring some bottled water with you as you are likely to get thirsty during the expedition and you have to make sure you don't get dehydrated.

You will also need a backpack to use to carry these items and your valuables.

Backpacks work great as you'll need both of your hands to carry the canoe.

8Maybe now you are wondering the cost for one of our canoe trips. First, each of you will have to pay a deposit of £20 by credit card.

Please remember that cash is not accepted.

9After that, the cost of the tour will be 17 pounds for one person, but if you take this canoe trip with a friend, then it's 28 pounds.

We may raise the price next month, and it'll be 38 pounds for two, so don't hesitate to sign up now.

If you are interested in an unforgettable adventure, we encourage you to sign up for one of our river adventures now.

You can call us after I finish this talk. The phone number is on the leaflet which will be given out.

10So, you will know the dates and times of our upcoming adventures. Of course, if you need more details, you can check our website at www.rivertrip.com.
