Mind the weight limit
Kayaks have a strict 150 kg maximum—distribute gear and people accordingly to stay safe and stable.
Bring a dry bag
Even short paddles include swim stops and splash; protect phones and wallets in a waterproof bag.
Start early for cooler temps
Morning departures are markedly cooler and quieter than midday; aim for the first slot to avoid heat and mosquitos.
