Good to know
This suits anyone from complete beginners to experienced kayakers seeking a relaxed paddle and island exploration. Expect sea conditions to dictate whether you actually land on the islands—tides and weather can prevent beach access, so flexibility is essential. There's a 90kg weight limit. It's not suitable if you're pregnant or have significant cardiovascular concerns. Changing facilities exist but get busy during peak periods; consider arriving ready to paddle in swimwear. Public transport is accessible nearby. Infants and small children can be accommodated.
