Never been in a kayak before but was given full instructions and a lifejacket, nice easy pace and really beautiful scenery. Lots of wildlife and the guide really looks after you and helps in any way she can.
This is prefect if you want to get out on a ocean that is calm and relaxing then a trip though some inland rivers. Thank guys really was one of the best things I have done
