What do “fellow paddler” and “passenger” mean?
You’ll come across both terms when you book. Here’s a quick explanation:
Fellow paddler
By fellow paddlers we mean everyone who is out on the water with you and actively paddles along. When you book, you enter how many fellow paddlers there are in your group, in other words how many people are coming along in total. That way we know how many boats and life jackets to get ready for you.
Passenger
A passenger comes along without doing the full paddling themselves, usually a child in a double kayak together with an adult. The adult steers and paddles, while the child sits in front and helps as much as they like.
“Join as a fellow paddler” for your preferred date
You’ll find the term fellow paddler in one more place in the booking calendar: if there’s no scheduled tour on your preferred date right now, you can join as a fellow paddler there, free of charge and with no commitment. As soon as enough fellow paddlers come together for the same day, we organize the tour and invite everyone who signed up. That way nobody has to wait for a date on their own.
The general rule: A canoe tour is a sporty activity where everyone actively paddles. There are no spectator-only seats. You’ll find more about children on board in the article From what age can my child join?
