What to expect
You'll be fitted with a kayak featuring a transparent hull panel, giving you a continuous window into the bay's underwater world. Your guide navigates calm waters, pointing out marine residents as they appear. The pace is unhurried—there's plenty of time to watch stingrays glide across the seabed and crabs scuttle along the bottom. You'll stay dry throughout, making this an accessible way to explore without snorkelling or diving. Expect a gentle paddle rather than a workout; the focus is on observation and quiet appreciation of what lives below.
