What to expect
You'll arrive to be fitted with lifejackets and shown basic paddle technique. Once on the water, your guide leads the pace, pointing out landmarks and local details. Expect gentle paddling rather than a workout—the focus is on taking in the scenery and staying relaxed. You'll have time to pause for photos and questions. The water is generally calm in the harbour, though conditions vary by season. Your guide stays close and adjusts the route to keep everyone comfortable and engaged.
Good to know
Bring a change of clothes and water shoes—splashing is guaranteed. Double kayaks mean you're paired with another participant; the operator matches compatible paddlers. Children aged 12 and under need a responsible adult in their kayak. Service animals are welcome. Public transport is accessible nearby.
