－Q & A－

• Can I participate if I can't swim?
  You can sign up even if you don't know how to swim. Before entering the water, a life jacket will be distributed to each person, so wear it properly. It is buoyant enough to lift you above the shoulders in the event of a fall.
  
  
• Is the boat for one person or two?
  At present, two-person boats are provided. The advantage is that two people can take turns to rest and take pictures when they paddle together. They can get a better angle for taking pictures, and they will not stop completely during the journey.
  
  
• Age Restrictions: Is the tour suitable for children?
  There is no upper age limit, as long as you think you are physically fit, you can participate.
  As for the lower age limit: Generally, children who can paddle by themselves, about the third grade of elementary school and above, are better. After that, they may only sit on the boat to enjoy the scenery.
  Children can participate in this activity. We also encourage parents to bring their children to participate in the canoe experience trip and go out together. Ultimately, however, parents have to take into account the individual characteristics of their child.
  
  
• What kind of clothes and shoes to wear? Will the pants get wet? Where can I store my luggage before going into the water? Where can I change clothes and flush after going ashore?
  For boating clothing, it is recommended to wear breathable long-sleeved underwear (for those who like to tan, of course, short-sleeved shorts can also be worn). Try to avoid wearing cotton or jeans that are easy to absorb water, so as not to affect the flexibility of activities. You can wear sports sandals or river upstream shoes on your feet. Do not wear slippers, which are easy to float away with the water. On sunny days, please prepare sunglasses and wear a sun hat to avoid sunburn.
  
  
• Can a canoe capsize? Heard of seasickness?
  There is no way to guarantee that the canoe will never capsize, but because of wearing a life jacket, the safety of the experiencer is safe. The coach will also demonstrate the steps to climb back on the boat after the boat capsizes before everyone goes into the water. If it really capsizes, we will take the initiative to assist those who fell into the water to get on the boat again, please rest assured. For those who have experienced motion sickness and seasickness in the past, it is recommended to take seasickness medicine half an hour before sailing (bring your own). Get enough sleep the night before sailing, and keep your eyes on high places and far away when actually sailing. In addition, remember to control the canoe and keep it in a moving state at all times. When the boat stops, it is most prone to wave sickness.
  
  
• Can pregnant women join the tour? Are pets allowed to participate?
  Because there are easy waves when entering and leaving the coast, fear of overturning the boat and bad tire inflation, it is not suitable for pregnant women. If you have any doubts or suspected pregnancy, please withdraw from the activity to protect yourself and the on-site coach. Generally, the upper limit of the carrying capacity of a double boat is about 200 kg, because it will take up the load capacity of the boat. If you want to bring a dog on board, please take small dogs first, medium dogs second, and large dogs are not suitable. When registering, please be sure to inform in advance that you will bring dogs.
  A few reminders for fur kids:
  1. The scope of insurance claims is only valid for those involved in the event.
  2. Large dogs are not recommended to board the boat. There will be problems of overweight and insufficient space. If you still consider participating, you can private message to discuss first.
  3. Some breeds are naturally not suitable for water and are not good at swimming. It is recommended to bring your own dog life jacket.
  4. When a critical situation occurs, the coach will give priority to rescue people, please forgive me for this part.
