Participants may not use a bicycle, taxi or ride-share service due to ongoing construction. Each ticket holder may bring up to 4 additional guests in their car. During registration you will be asked about additional participants in your car. Due to limited reservations, carpooling with friends and family is encouraged.

Accessibility: This tour will be an approximately two-mile round-trip paddle. Winds and tides at times can be challenging. If you have any accessibility needs, please let us know in advance so we can best accommodate you.

Stay hydrated and make sure to bring water with you. All participants will be asked to sign an activity waiver before entering the park. Those under 18 need to have the waiver signed by a parent or guardian and be accompanied by an adult.
