1. What raft do I need? - Llama or Yak. General guidelines are:
5'-10 and above - Llama.
5'-8 and shorter - Yak.
The only other factors are if you are border 5'-8 and long legged you may need a Llama - OR 5'10 long torso and shorter legs you may need a yak.
2. Do I need any accessories?
DRY WEAR , INFLATABLE FLOOR MATS , DRY BAGS, DRY PACK.
3. How long will I need the raft.
The rates are based on 24/hr rental. Exception to that is the pick up and drop off same day rental.
So you need to consider your travel plans and when you need to leave town and when you will be back. Then look at our rental plan/rates and see where your needs fit into the offerings. We offer flexible p/u and d/o times to accommodate you and your trip plans. (rates are below).
4. Want to reserve in advance?
Send email with your trip needs and dates. We will respond and then ask for your confirmation a week in advance to your trip.
WE DO NOT MAKE RESERVATIONS. So if you have trip plans months/weeks out and you want to assure yourself a raft email as soon as you know your dates this will get you to the top of the list for that time period. We have not had problems with not being able to supply rafts to all who want to rent - but that day will come.
