Six Hours of Solo Paddling: Explore Como’s Zones 1–4 in a Hardwearing Recreational Kayak.
This is a short-hire recreational kayak designed for a single paddler: a durable LDPE craft with molded carry handles, a rear storage well and a front hatch that makes six hours on the water practical and straightforward. The hire is strictly for use from the operator’s location; you must depart and return on the equipment at the pick-up site and be back on time so the next guest’s hire is not affected.
