Weather info
General weather info
Weather can influence any tour, and a clear decision is often only possible on the day itself. We review conditions carefully and remain within our safety limits, and bad weather alone does not mean we have to stop.
Make sure we can reach you with current contact information in case your booking changes. Silence from us means your tour is still planned or the final call is not yet made. If we need to cancel, you can rebook, choose another activity, or get a full refund.

Activity-specific weather info
With the right equipment, kayaking is fun in any weather. Even in rain or snowfall, it is surprisingly beautiful. The raindrops on the water and the snowflakes around you make the experience unique. Trust us - it will be great! (In case of storms or thunderstorms, we may have to cancel or postpone tours for safety reasons.)
