Double kayaks - one hour.
victoria_b, Jan 2024
We booked for 2 adults but when we arrived were offered 2 seperate double kayaks. I guess we should have read the detail more carefully and just booked 1 as each kayak seats two people! You have the use of the kayak for 1 hour. Experience was a lot of fun, although weekend in January so it was packed with people which meant being very aware of not hitting people in a small area with no segregation of boats/swimmers. It also meant very few fish. We did find some but further out around the boundary of where we were allowed to go. Very beautiful. Would go again, plan more time to spend on the beach and take a picnic.

Hey Victoria, Apologies for the teams' confusion I've just had a look and don't see a double booking but TripAdvisor goes through our booking system and displays as 2 kayaks although it's only one. - we often extend the boundaries if the conditions permit to make the navigation of people a little easier (: We're glad you enjoyed your experience and would come again. Even better you'd like to come again! Cheers Clearyak Team
