  • WildlifeWatch from a distance. Sightings are possible, never guaranteed.
  • ShoreCarry every piece of litter back and leave sand, shells and plants where they are.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancel up to 24 hours before your start time and you get a full refund.

Do I need any experience?

No special skills are required. Basic kayaking knowledge is helpful, and comfort in water is essential. Beginners are welcome, and the kayaks are stable and easy to navigate. You get instructions before you set off.

Is it safe for children?

Yes, the kayaks are safe and stable, but the experience is not suitable for children under 8. Children aged 8 and over must be with an adult and wear a life jacket at all times.

What if the weather is bad?

If bad weather could compromise your safety or the quality of your experience, we may move your rental to another day or give you a full refund. The decision is made by the rental provider, with safety first. Weather cancellations are very rare: the lagoon is sheltered by the barrier islands.
