THE KAYAK

Seaflo craft: stable, durable, responsive

The single kayak used for hires is the Seaflo model — noted for durability, responsiveness and stability — which makes it suitable for relaxed, self‑guided paddling across the lagoon.

THE FREEDOM

Pick your pace — short trips to full days

Hire options run from one hour up to a full day, so you can tailor the outing to a quick exploration or a longer day on the water, spending as much time as you like paddling the lake.

THE SAFETY BASICS

Lifejacket guidance & age recommendations

Safety guidance for hires emphasizes lifejacket use — it is recommended that all persons wear one, and children aged 12 years and younger must always be wearing a lifejacket; the hire is recommended for ages 12 and up.

What the day feels like

How the outing feels

The experience is deliberate and low‑key: collect your single kayak and step into a stable Seaflo craft, then push off and set your own agenda. Over the course of a chosen hour or a full day you can pace your strokes to the lagoon’s calm, explore sheltered inlets and return when your hired time is up — all framed by the ease of a reliable, user‑friendly kayak.
