The Founder
For many years,
since I first envisioned and began to cultivated ideas for a fun-f ocused and
customer
oriented instruction and touring company back in 1999, my idea for When it
Rains has
shifted focus many times and has taken me through a diverse set of
rapids. I had the big picture in mind but I need to slow down and focus on
the details before I could find the
key to the
castle. It finally came to
me in the late 90’s when I was on the water paddling with a friend …This is
what I should be doing! The peace that I was felt then…is still with me
today.

Our Environmental Responsibility
Even an environmentally compatible activity like
running kayak tours can affect the habitat in which it operates. As such,
our tour operators have a responsibility to conduct their adventures
responsibly. When you travel with When it Rains, your guides will follow
practices that allow us to observe wildlife as closely as possible within a
predefined set of limitation as to not disturb the wildlife.
