Kayak tour booking software for guided paddles.
Sunrise paddles, sunset tours, and a fleet that's either on the rack or on the water. Tarn books the seats, signs the waivers, and builds the day's schedule.
A paddle operation juggles a fleet, a tide of first-timers, and a schedule where the 10:00 eco-tour and the sunset paddle share the same boats and the same guides. Tarn sells each departure against its own capacity on your website, gets waivers signed before anyone reaches the beach, and lays the whole day out on one calendar: which tours are filling, who's guiding them, and which bookings still owe a signature or a balance.
The parts of your day Tarn already knows.
Departures with their own shape
The sunrise tour, the eco-paddle, and the sunset trip each get their own times, capacity, and price, sold side by side on one booking page.
Waivers signed before anyone shows up
Every guest gets a digital waiver link with their confirmation, reminders chase the ones who haven't signed, and the morning manifest shows exactly who's outstanding, so the van leaves on time.
Guides on the schedule, not in a group text
Assign guides per tour and time from the Schedule page. Every guide sees their day, and the manifest shows the crew exactly who's on the water when.
Conditions where you plan the day
Weather at your launch point sits on the dashboard next to the bookings: the factual readings behind calling the afternoon tour before guests drive out.
Your website, your Stripe account
The booking widget embeds on the site you already own, payments run through your own Stripe account with payouts straight to your bank, and every booking, contact, and waiver exports anytime.
Pay only when you're running
No monthly fee and no contract. Tarn takes a published 3% per booking, stepping down to 2% as you grow, and a closed season costs you $0.
How an operation like yours sets it up.
Illustrative setups, not templates you're locked into; every trip's schedule, capacity, pricing tiers, and deposit are yours to shape.

Can different tours share one booking page?
Yes. Every tour you run lists on one booking widget with its own schedule, price, and live availability, embedded on your own website.
How do first-timers sign waivers?
From their phone, before they arrive. The link goes out with the confirmation, reminders chase the unsigned, and the manifest shows who's still outstanding.
Is there a monthly fee?
No. Tarn charges a published percentage per booking (3%, stepping down to 2%) with no contract, so a rained-out week or a closed season costs nothing.
