One of the more basic questions you should ask yourself before you rent a kayak is whether you want to paddle solo or tandem. The names are self-explanatory— solo kayaks are for one paddler and tandem kayaks are equipped for two.
We do have a fleet with four tandem kayaks and two single kayaks.
- Tandem kayak is more stable due the shape/design and wider width.
- It’s faster with two paddlers
- Renting a tandem kayak it’s a good choice if you or your paddling partner have limited previous experience.
- Tandem kayaks can also be great if you are paddling with a child who isn’t ready to kayak alone.
- If one kayaker’s ability or strength means they won’t do well paddling a solo kayak, having a stronger or more capable tandem partner is key.
- Some experienced kayakers also simply enjoy the companionship and teamwork that a tandem provides.

No, you don’t. Most of our guests are first-timers and our rental kayak is safer, good equipment, and briefings are designed to put beginners at ease. Our experienced staff will provide a safety orientation before you get on the water and recommend you the best spots to navigate with the kayak.
No, not at all! Kayaking you can paddle at your own pace and set the journey as you wish.
