How Do I Reserve a Tour?
To make a reservation, either call us or stop in. We require a credit card to secure your reservation and highly recommend booking in advance to ensure that your tour doesn't fill up. The Essex River Basin Adventures Release Agreement and Liability Waiver must be completed before you come out with us. You may either fill the forms out in advance or complete them upon arrival.
What About Cancellations?
If you must cancel your trip or reduce the number in your party, a 72-hour cancellation notice is required. Cancellations will not be accepted through email. We reserve the right to cancel any trips in the event of high winds or thunder and lightning. You will receive a full refund or may apply it towards another tour. We do not cancel trips just for rain. Kayaking is a water sport afterall.

When Should In Arrive?We request that you arrive no later than one hour prior to your scheduled tour time. If you are running late, please call to let us know.
What Clothes Should I Wear or Bring?
A bathing suit or shorts, t-shirt and a light top-layer. A light nylon rain jacket if there's a potential for a little rain.
What About My Feet?
Your feet will probably get wet. Paddle barefoot, in flip-flops, crocs, old sneakers, water shoes. Whatever you like.
What Else Should I Bring?
Water! Suntan lotion, a hat, sunglasses attached to a strap, a snack, a change of clothes. And more water can't hurt.
What About My Cell Phone and Other Saltwater-Sensitive Electronics?
We suggest you leave em behind. The Eskimos didn't need them to kayak. However, we do have dry-bags to borrow or purchase, if you prefer to bring along such items.
How About in the Spring or Fall When It's Colder?
Avoid jeans or sweatshirts. Cotton likes to stay wet and cold. A polar fleece and polyester tops works really well.
