Tickets are non-refundable. Please read BEFORE purchasing tickets:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
•A 4-mile kayaking excursion can take even the experienced paddler 2-3 hours to complete. If you have never been kayaking before, or have very little experience, we urge you to sit this one out. It can be very challenging.
•Sorry, NO REFUNDS for any reason. In the event of foul weather, participants will still get their welcome bag & t-shirt, and the awesome after-party will still occur (it takes place under a tent). Please know that if we have to cancel the course, your registration fee is still going to a good cause - supporting the Indian River Life-Saving Station Museum and the educational programs at Delaware Seashore State Park.
•Kayak rentals are available through Coastal Kayak and as of 8/20/19, they are maxed out! If you wish to rent a kayak on or after 8/20, you will need to transport it yourself!
If you have any other questions about this event prior to registering, please call the Indian River Life-Saving Station at (302) 227-6991.
