TERMS OF HIRE AGREEMENT
Outdoor activities have a degree of risk. Participants should be aware that no operator can absolutely guarantee your safety. You must sign a Terms of Hire Agreement with Hibiscus Kayak Hire prior to departure. To ensure safety we reserve the right to refuse hire due to adverse weather/river conditions or if a client is unsuitable due to age, size, ill health or poor fitness.
I have read, understand, and agree to abide by the following rules:
- Lifejacket must be worn at all times.
- All children must be in direct supervision of an adult at all times.
- I do not land on private properties.
- If I stop and get out of the kayak I will place all equipment in a safe place.
- I protect the New Zealand environment and wildlife by not leaving litter on river banks and beaches.
- I pay attention to avoid collisions with other users of the water i.e. motorboats, jet ski, water ski, kayaks, swimmers.
- I pay attention to other dangerous situations such as strong currents, tide, flood, poor weather, waves, unstable cliffs.
- No alcohol or drugs before or during your kayak rental.
