Please wear the life jacket all the time and do not take it off at will. ・Personal equipment: It is recommended to wear breathable long-sleeved pants (for those who like to tan, of course, short-sleeved shorts). Try to avoid cotton or jeans that are easily absorbent. You can wear sports sandals or brook shoes on your feet, do not wear slippers, which are easy to float away in the water. ・Prepare sunglasses and a sun hat on sunny days to avoid sunburn. (If you want to apply sunscreen, please try not to use commercially available chemicals. Rubbing it on your body may hurt your body. It will also affect the marine ecology when it dissolves in water. It is recommended to use natural products such as coconut oil for skin sun protection. Or eat tomatoes, etc. Food can also effectively form sun protection in the body) ・Please prepare your own light raincoat or windproof clothing to prevent the weather from changing. ・The boating clothes will get wet a little, so please remember to bring a set of clean replacement clothes and change them on when you go ashore. Please also prepare personal meals, fruit snacks, and sufficient drinking water (1~2 liters/person) to board the boat. It is very important to supplement calories and moisture when sailing! (Alcoholic beverages are not allowed on board) (It is recommended to bring a plastic bag so that you can store your changed wet clothes after the trip. Luggage not brought on board can be stored in the coach shuttle bus or camp tent and retrieved at the end of the trip. Please bring your valuables with you. The company is not responsible for custody.) ・If you have a history of motion sickness and seasickness in the past, it is recommended to take seasickness medicine (bring your own) half an hour before sailing. Keep the night before sailing ・Enough sleep. When actually sailing, keep your eyes on high and far away. Control the canoe to keep moving at any time, and the boat will be sick if it stops for too long. ・For glasses wearers, it is recommended to wear glasses straps. Keep things on board as simple as possible, and remember to take waterproof measures! especially Cell phones, cameras, electronic keys and other valuables should be kept in waterproof bags as much as possible. If you carry a bag on the ship, please properly tie the hook and hang it on the ship to prevent it from overturning and the item sinks into the sea causing property loss. ・If you encounter anglers while sailing between waters, please keep a distance to avoid unnecessary disputes caused by boats entangled in the fishing line. ・Water activities are easily affected by the weather. When actually sailing, the tour leader may modify the itinerary according to changes in wind and hydrological conditions, or cancel the voyage midway when the sea conditions deteriorate. Those who cannot accept the itinerary may change for some reason, please do not participate. ・If the sea conditions are good on the day and the unmanned gravel beach is successfully landed ashore, you are welcome to swim, snorkel, and play in the water. For safety reasons, please wear a life jacket at all times. And because the places we reached are a bit remote, in case of injury, it is more difficult to evacuate the injured, so rock climbing and high diving are prohibited during the activity. Please forgive me! In addition, if you rest on the shore in a shaded place just below the cliff, please avoid the recess in the mountain wall or pass as soon as possible. Do not stay under the cliff for a long time to avoid possible damage in case of falling rocks. ・Don't panic if a boat capsizes in the open sea. Remember to hold the canoe. Separation of people and boats is a taboo, which will increase the difficulty of rescue. The buoyancy of the life jacket is generally enough to make you surface above the shoulders, and the team coach will also take the initiative to approach and assist. ・The itinerary of this activity is designed to be driven by manpower throughout the entire journey, and no power will be provided to guard the boat along the side (just like when climbing a mountain, we usually don’t ask a helicopter to accompany you). If you mind it, If you need a power boat to escort, please contact us for a special voyage. ・The event area is an open water area. Although the best season of the year has been selected for sailing, there is a great chance of good sea conditions based on past experience, but there is still no guarantee that the whole journey will be calm. For us who usually live on land, it is normal for us to go out to sea and paddle a small canoe for the first time, feeling uneasy, loving and afraid of being hurt. But if your personality likes a little bit of excitement and is unwilling to be unreliable, you have chosen the right itinerary! (If you are really worried, it is recommended to take other smooth inland waters trips, such as itinerary D Shuangxi River rafting) ・Leave no trace principle, take nothing except shooting, leave nothing except footprints. At the end of the trip, please remember to take away your own garbage, so that latecomers can also have a good environment, thank you. **|Canoeing activities・Frequently asked questions|** **1. Can you participate if you don’t know how to swim?** You can also sign up if you don’t know how to swim. Each person will be given a life jacket before going into the water and wear them properly. In case of falling into the water, its buoyancy is enough to make you surface above your shoulders. **2. Is the boat seated by one person or two people?** Currently, two-man boats are provided. The advantage is that two people can take turns to take a rest and take pictures. Taking pictures can get a better angle, and they will not stop completely when they are traveling. **3. What is the approximate activity process? How long is the activity and how long does it take?** Generally, after the assembly, the coach will give 40 to 50 minutes of environment introduction, boat skills and other basic teaching before launching, and then the coach will assist everyone in the launch. The departure journey is about an hour or so. If the sea conditions permit, you will go to the beach to rest. If the sea conditions are not good and the shore waves are high, you will not go ashore to rest. Instead, you will rest on a boat or get cold water. The return journey is just over an hour, and finally ashore at the original launch point to end the journey. The average mileage of the voyage is about 10 kilometers. Due to the influence of wind and tide, the average activity time varies from 3 to 6 hours. If you are participating in a fixed-point journey, the average time is 1-1.5 hours. **4. Age limit? Is it suitable for children to participate in the East Coast trip?** There is no upper age limit, as long as you feel physically fit, you can participate. As for the minimum age? Generally speaking, if you can paddle yourself, it is better for children who are in the third grade or above in elementary school. Below, they may only be able to sit on the boat and enjoy the scenery. Children can participate in this activity. We also encourage parents to take their children to participate in the canoe experience and go out together. However, parents still have to consider the personal characteristics of the children themselves. Some children who are more suitable for the room and IKEA (forage chicken) may not be suitable for participation. However, children who are naturally fond of outdoor activities (pheasant) are welcome to join the itinerary. We have also encountered a few children who were tired or seasick during the voyage, crying and crying at sea on the spot, which not only destroyed the pleasure of parents, but also made the atmosphere of the entire fleet a little embarrassing. So the main thing is to consider the child's suitability. Please don't force the child to come over because open parents want to let the conservative child experience something different. Remember to ask the child if he wants to participate beforehand. In addition, the sea conditions are sometimes good and sometimes not good. When the sea conditions are good, even one-year-old children can accompany them on the voyage; but if the sea conditions deteriorate halfway, even the young and middle-aged may be shocked. We don’t shy away from talking about the East Coast. Open water activities have a certain degree of risk. The on-site coach will assess whether children and the elderly are suitable for entering the water. If you are extremely worried about safety, please take a trip to inland waters where water conditions are relatively stable. **5. Will the canoe capsize? I heard that it will get seasick?** There is no way to guarantee that the canoe will never capsize, but because there is a life jacket, the safety of the experiencer is safe. The instructor will also demonstrate the steps of climbing back to the boat after capsizing before you enter the water. In the event of an overturn, we will also take the initiative to assist those who fell into the water to re-board the boat, please rest assured. For those with a history of motion sickness and seasickness, it is recommended to take seasickness medicine (bring your own) half an hour before sailing. Keep enough sleep the night before sailing. When actually sailing, keep your eyes on high and far away. In addition, remember to control the canoe at all times to keep it in the moving state, the boat is most likely to be sick when it stops. **6. Can pregnant women participate in the itinerary? Can pets participate?** Because you are prone to rolling waves when entering and leaving the coast, you are afraid that the boat will capsize and your fetal breath will not be good. Therefore, pregnant women are not suitable. If you suspect or suspect that you are pregnant, please take the initiative to withdraw from the activity to protect yourself and the on-site coach. Generally, the upper limit of the load of a two-person boat is about 200 kg, because it will take up the load of the boat. If you want to bring a dog on the boat, please use small dogs as the main ones, followed by medium-sized dogs, and large dogs are not suitable. When registering, please be sure to inform in advance that you will bring a dog. A few things to note for Mao children The scope of insurance claims is valid only for active personnel. Large dogs are not recommended to board the boat. There will be problems with excess weight and insufficient space. If you still consider participating, you can discuss it privately. Some breeds are inherently unsuitable and do not know how to swim. It is recommended to bring your own dog life jackets. When a critical situation occurs, the coach will give priority to rescue personnel. Please forgive me for this part.
