| |  | We have taken great pains to ensure that our guides are professionals and amongst the best in the field, particularly where safety is concerned. The element that separates the safest guides from the rest is judgement, something that only comes from seasons of experience in a variety of environments. We have a great deal of respect for our guides and also the responsibility they must bear. In turn, the guides on your trip will ask that you follow some simple guidelines: - While on the river or any lakes, each person must wear a life jacket completely fastened - no exceptions.
- In bear country, there is security in numbers. Before anyone ventures out of sight of the group, be sure the guide knows and consents. In many situations, including hiking and always boating, the guide will require that the group stay together. Once again, this stems from years of experience.
- Selection of itinerary is something that the group will participate in, but the final discretion always rests with the guide. Weather, river conditions, forest fires and other variables may dictate that the group sits tight or selects an alternate plan. In such a case, the guide will make the choice and will require your support.
- All participants will be requested to complete and sign a medical form in conjunction with his/her physician prior to the trip.
- Cancellation/medical/evacuation insurance. The package that we use includes coverage for evacuation and for Canadians it has additional medical coverage. The insurance company we use will sell this only at the time of booking. See the application form or call our office for more details concerning what the cancellation insurance covers. The cost is approximately 7% of the trip fee. Please check to ensure your medical insurance will cover you away from home and include evacuation coverage outside of your home region.
Personal Concerns If this is your first river holiday, you likely have many questions. Please feel free to call with any questions you have. We regularly address health concerns, feminine hygiene, dietary needs, washing and other factors. Our job is to ensure you feel comfortable while making the best use of your valuable holiday time. |
