Do I need to know how to swim?
You should be comfortable around water. Life jackets are provided and must be worn on all tours.
Is there an age limit?
Not so much an age limit but it depends on your fitness level and abilities. If you are over the age of 55 be aware that the tours can be a challenge for some people! You need to be able to sit in the kayak for a prolonged time and be able to get in and out several times. If you have exisiting back, shoulder or hip problems, this tour may not be for you. If unsure, please call us and have a chat to us!
Is there a weight limit?
Yes. The maximum is 120kg per person and 190kg combined in a double kayak.
How hard are the tours?
The tours are all very different, but all are suited to beginners. However, we do get affected by wind and tide and some days can be easier than others...please contact us if you are unsure about the weather or your abilities or fitness level.
How old do you have to be for the kayak tours?
The Nature Tour is for ages 10+ and the Sunset Tour is for ages 12+. We normally require one adult for each guest under 18. If your group has more children than adults, please contact us before booking — depending on ages, experience and conditions, we may be able to approve another arrangement.
I travel by myself, can I join the tours?
Yes, you certainly can. We ask you to contact us before making a booking so we can make sure you are happy to paddle a single kayak or be paired up with someone else depending on numbers.
Do I need kayaking experience?
No. You don’t need previous kayaking experience for our guided tours. We’ll get you set up before we head off. You do need a moderate level of fitness for the Sunset and Nature Tours, as you’ll be paddling for around 2.5 to 3 hours and need to be able to get in and out of the kayak.
Which kayak tour is best for families with children?
Our Family Tour is designed specifically for families with children aged 4–12. It departs at 9:30 am, runs for around 2 hours and costs $55 per adult and $45 per child. Kids paddle with an adult, and the tour includes morning tea, wildlife ID slates and free tour photos.
