Frequently Asked Questions

 

Why is the adventure for those 16 years and older? Can I bring younger children?

We love our younger friends, however, control of the e-bikes is a consideration. Should you wish to include children under 16, please consider chartering Delamar, our luxurious 6 passenger pontoon, or perhaps you could plan a private Wind Dancer sail. We hate to disappoint!

What is your cancellation policy?

We try to make the call for our land tour adventures an hour in advance of departure. Rest assured, if we need to cancel because safety is an issue, you will have the opportunity to reschedule or get your money back. Should you wish to cancel for any reason, you must do so with a 24-hour advanced notice in order to receive a refund.

Where do I park?

Free parking is available at the Delamar Hotel, although in the peak of summer, be prepared to find other parking. The Hardy Parking Garage is .6 miles away from the Delamar.

What should I bring?

Bring a small backpack to carry your belongings.
