Do I need to be experienced to come kayaking?
No! We will teach you the basics you need to get going smoothly, all you need is a decent level of fitness!
How long will we paddle for each day?
It depends a bit on things like the weather and group abilities, but generally each day contains about 4 hours of on water time.
What hapens if the weather is too rough to paddle?
If the weather is too rough (ie it is too windy, the waves are too big or it is pouring with rain) we can offer you a full refund or to change to another day.
Can I choose to go in a single kayak?
Sorry! We always put clients in double kayaks because they are more stable, faster, and it is easier to manage the group! your safety is our priority.
I'm travelling by myself, am I still able to come kayaking?
Definitely! We always put customers in double sea kayaks so it will mean you will either be paddling with someone else who made a solo booking, or sharing a kayak with one of our guides.
Where can we find the photos the guide was taking?
The photos from the guides camera get uploaded onto the Coromandel Sea Kayaks facebook page. Just click on albums and search for the date you went paddling with us!
