Your Gear

The beauty of kayaking is not only the overwhelming up-and-close nature experience, but it is also a very comfortable way of moving in the outdoors. It is fast and the waterproof hatches make sure to keep all your gear dry. You don't have to minimise your packing as when hiking. You can very well bring a few beers, cook nice food and whatever else you feel like.


We supply ALL kayaking, camping & cooking gear needed for your trip. This also includes sleeping bags, waterproof paddling clothes and fishing gear.

We use stable double fibre glass kayaks from Tahe Marine, with rudders for all beginners and intermediates. They are perfectly suited for covering vast distances, fitting lots of gear and sticking to your course.

We provide single kayaks strictly for experienced kayakers. They are also made of fibre glass with rudders, but they are a lot less stable than the double kayak and fit less gear.

What to bring

You have to bring clothes for both warm and cold weather. The days can be frying hot, but you'll probably want to be able to put warmer clothes on during the night and early in the morning, especially during spring and autumn.

         
  Neccesary stuff:   Shorts, T-shirts & strap-on sandals. Shoes, trousers, warm sweater, swim suit, camera, cap, sun block, beanie & toiletries, towel. Other things to bring just for leisure are books, games, binoculars and GPS  
         
  If you got it:   Sleeping bag, gloves, waterproof clothing, therm-a-rest airmat.
  
         

You can fit all that you need in a 10-kilo carry-on. You cannot bring liquids as a carry-on, so we have schampoo, sun block, mosquito repellent etc. available on the shopping list.

 

 

 

  
 


"Sea kayaking in Saint Anna was an adventure in every sence of the word rather than following the same old beaten tourist trail. The landscape was incredible and not having a guide made it lots more fun! It was one of the best travel-
ling experiences I've had!"
