Frequently asked questions about prices

Is the price per person or per canoe?
Our prices are per person. The canoe is included in the price: each participant pays their own rate (adult, student or child), whatever the number of seats in the canoe.
From what age can you canoe?
Canoeing is open from age 7 on a standard trip, and from age 4 with a state-certified instructor (compulsory for children under 7). Under the age of 4, paddling is not allowed. The child rate applies in all cases.
Do you pay in full when booking, or just a deposit?
Online bookings are paid in full at the time of booking.
Do prices change with the season?
No, we apply a single rate throughout the season: no high-season increase.
Can you cancel or postpone a booking?
Yes, and we are very flexible: it depends on the situation. The easiest way is to call us so we can talk it through, we usually find a solution.
Can you bring your dog, and is it extra?
Yes, and it's free. We provide a life jacket for your dog free of charge, on request. Please book it in advance by calling us or messaging us on WhatsApp.
