Simple and independent

Kayaking on your own

You take a kayak, Westley shows you the area, and you set off at your own pace.

The lagoon,with no programme.

The simplest option, and sometimes the right one: an hour on the water, no guide, no set route.

Before you leave, Westley points out the suitable area for that day, the landmarks to keep in sight and the limit not to cross. It is short, it is clear, and it is enough.

The rest is yours. Some paddle along the coast, others stop in the middle of the lagoon and do nothing at all.

Frequently asked

Do I need kayaking experience?

No. The lagoon is calm and shallow. If it is your first time, say so: Westley stays on the beach and keeps an eye out.

Can two people share one kayak?

Yes, depending on what is available that day. Mention the number of people when you write.
