About this tour

Eight of these coves are only reachable by water; you'll carve past volcanic headlands, skim the Five Bays' untouched shoreline, and finish at Horseshoe Bay. Your guide handles safety and shares genuine knowledge of island ecology and wildlife while you steer. Small group, no licence needed, all kit supplied.

What to expect
You'll get a solid safety briefing before launch, then driver training so you're comfortable at the helm. The three hours split between actual riding and stops where your guide unpacks the island's natural history and lets you ask questions. You're genuinely steering—not a passenger. Water conditions vary, so you'll need steady nerves and solid swimming ability. Pack your confidence; the scenery rewards it.
