Good to know
This trip is done on double sea kayaks, hence the minimum requirement is 2 guests.
The tour is beginner-friendly and requires no prior experience, but paddling for 2-3 hours is physically demanding, so participants must be in good health and able to swim. Guests should bring sneakers, swimwear, wool underwear, and a towel. Due to weight restrictions for the double kayak, it can only accommodate guests under 110 kg.
