If you have any physical limitations or concerns please let us know. As we are not qualified to evaluate your level of fitness we ask that you (possibly along with your doctor) determine whether or not you are able to join one of our tours. If you have any special medical conditions, we encourage you to check with your doctor before you reserve your trip. Please also note that all our tours take place in remote areas and evacuations can take a great deal of time and be expensive. Persons with various disabilities are welcome on Kayak-King tours/Sea Kayak Academy courses, pending a discussion of any special needs and requirements.
