Crafting Your Route
What makes this rental particularly appealing is the ability to design your own route. You’re not tied to a large group or a fixed itinerary. Instead, you can explore at your own pace, whether that’s a quick zip around or a leisurely cruise enjoying the surroundings.

Considerations and Tips

A key consideration is the $250 damage deposit, which, while refundable, is an extra step in the process. Also, you must be at least 21 years old to rent, and the maximum weight limit is 350 lbs for two riders, so it suits most adults but may not accommodate larger groups.
If you’re someone who wants to capture the moment, note that photography during the ride isn’t permitted—a common policy for safety reasons. But, with the beautiful scenery, you might find plenty of opportunities to snap photos before or after your ride.
