DO I NEED A PARTNER?
Not at all.

Many guests join us on their own, while others paddle with friends, partners, or family members.
Our main fleet includes stable solo or tandem kayaks that can be paddled comfortably by one person or two. We also operate solo sea kayaks for those who prefer their own boat.
Children under ten can often ride in the centre seat of a tandem kayak free of charge on selected family tours.
