eNRG provides boats, kayaks & paddles. Additionally, we will provide guides, shuttles, splash tops/bottoms as needed or upon request.
While our guides are well compensated for their skills, if you feel like you’ve received an exceptional experience – tipping is always appreciated thanking them for their work. For reference, a percentage-based average for gratuities is generally between 10%-20% of the total trip cost.
Paddling can be enjoyed in most weather as long as one dresses appropriately. Therefore, trips run rain or shine, except during extreme conditions including lightning, high winds, and excessive smoke onsite.
If You Cancel
It is difficult to fill a spot vacated at the last moment. For this reason, with 72 hours notice we offer a 85% refund, free rescheduling, or voucher for the paid amount. With 24 hours notice, free rescheduling or a voucher for the paid amount is available. Under 24 hours notice means all refund/benefits will be forfeited.
