About Us

 

 

The Founder

 

For many years, since I first envisioned and began to cultivated ideas for a fun-focused 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.
