What To Expect
The tour starts at our Adventure Café where you meet your group and guide before heading off on a short drive out to the archipelago proper. All our kayak guides are qualified and experienced, so once you are geared up they will take time to run through some basic techniques and safety information with you before you paddle off on a beautiful journey of discovery!
The wildlife, rugged scenery and serenity of the archipelago will blow you away! It really is a very special place and there’s no better way to enjoy it than in a kayak. Some of the islands will be big enough to house a village, some a single house and others just a tree! There will be towering cliffs, narrow passage ways, plenty of forest, and wildlife in abundance!
You will stop on the sunniest and most sheltered island for a delicious and freshly prepared lunch, where you are welcome to swim and sunbathe should you wish. Our guides try to stop for lunch on a new island everyday so to keep our impact on the nature at a minimum. With so much protection from the open sea we can always find somewhere sheltered to stop, even if it is windy.
There will be more time to paddle after lunch before retuning to the city.
