Choose the Right Kayaking Equipment

- Dress comfortably: A swimsuit, light shirt, and hat are perfect for sunny days.
- Bring water and sunscreen: Stay hydrated and protect your skin from UV rays.

Learn the Basics of Paddling
Mastering a few basic movements will help you paddle efficiently and enjoy your time on the kayak.
- Hold your paddle correctly: Hands shoulder-width apart, blades facing the right way.
- Use smooth and steady movements: Kayaking is about rhythm, not force.
- Maintain good posture: Sit straight with slightly bent knees for better control.
Balance Is Everything
Stability is key when kayaking, especially for beginners.
- Look forward and keep your weight centered.
- Move naturally with the waves.
- Avoid sudden shifts or leaning to one side.
During our tours, your guide will help you find balance and make sure you feel safe and confident throughout the journey.
