Carry (canoe Handling)
Carrying your canoes - they are very light. They are carried on your head (requires 2 people). This is the safest way to carry them, it avoids any damage to the canoes but it also means both people can see where they are walking.
Our staff will assist putting the canoes your heads and also taking them off your heads.
If you want our staff to carry your canoe for you, it is best to book ahead as we may not have the staff available and may need to close our office.
Please tip the staff direct for their hard work.
