Rental Support That Helps You Feel Prepared
When you rent from Green Tongue Adventures, you’re not just picking up equipment and guessing your way through the rest. Our team can help you understand what you’re renting, what gear pairs well with your route, and what details to consider before heading out.
Depending on your rental package, equipment may include boats, paddles, oars, PFDs, helmets, throw bags, bailers, drysuits, camping gear, kitchen systems, group shelters, dry storage, or other trip essentials.

Trip Planning
Not Sure What Gear You Need? We’ll Help.
Choosing paddle gear can be confusing, especially when you’re dealing with mountain weather, cold water, moving current, shuttle timing, and group logistics. That’s where local support makes a real difference.
A calm lake paddle may only need a simple setup. A river trip may require helmets, throw bags, drysuits, proper PFDs, dry storage, and a stronger safety plan. A multi-day expedition may also need camp systems, shelters, kitchen gear, and shuttle support.
Tell us what you’re planning, and we’ll help you think through the practical details before you leave.
