Do I need previous experience?

No. Most of our kayakers are first-timers or have little experience. We will enquire about your swimming ability (for Freedom Rentals) and will not put you out on the water if we consider the weather and water conditionsĀ to beĀ unsuitable. A full navigation and safety briefing is given to all kayakers. Most of the lagoon (about 95%) is less than 1 metre deep. We also have a rescue boat on standby at all times.

How can I pay?

We accept cash, visa and mastercard.
