Considerations

Vicki_T, Jul 2025

My husband had a single kayak and the pedal rudder did not work. The guy was great when my husband rolled the kayak twice and his prescription eyeglasses are now at the bottom of the ocean. We stopped at a place on the coast in which we all got espresso and talked as a group. This was really cool. Because of my husband‘s vision and being a single kayaker, we decided to quit. The guide was understanding, even though he would have to tow back the kayaks. He was very kind and we appreciated the experience.

Great Excursion

Our family of 5 had a great time kayaking. The guide took his time to demonstrate how to properly paddle and we were able to choose tandem or individual. We paddled at an easy pace for young and old.
