Inflatable Kayaks (IK or ducky) are a super fun and safe way to navigate the Arkansas River. The Hyside Paddilac I that we use are the most stable and durable personal crafts on the market. Appropriate for people of all shapes, sizes and ability levels, these boats are top of the line, and they perform better than any other duckies on the river. If you want to run whitewater, or just go for a leisurely float this is the craft for you. Often they make a great companion craft to stand up paddle boarders due to their added gear capacity.
A double-sided paddle, PFD (Personal Flotation Device), and Helmet are included in the cost.
-
Double Duckies Paddilac II is the same stable craft with 2 seats and 3 more feet in length for either another person or more gear or perhaps a cooler.
Our Paddilac Kayaks are the very best inflatable kayaks on the market, and will provide you with the safest, most stable, secure, and fun of any inflatable kayak rental you will find on the Arkansas River. These boats are the best PWC (Personal Water Craft) available in the world!

Need a PFD and helmet for your adventures on the water? We’ve got you covered!

Stay warm on the cooler days with a wetsuit and rafting booties. Farmer John or Jane style wetsuits ? long legs, no arms. Zip-up neoprene boots.
