Good to know
This tour works well for anyone comfortable in water who wants a mixed-activity day combining paddling, walking and learning about the region's ecology and Indigenous culture. You'll need moderate fitness to paddle and walk; the sand dunes require reasonable mobility. Kayaks accommodate people up to 120kg only. You must be able to swim or float confidently in a personal flotation device. A minimum of three people is needed for the tour to run; if numbers don't meet this threshold after booking, you'll be offered an alternative date or full refund.
