Kayak & Stand-Up Paddle Rental or Lesson
Rent a kayak or stand-up paddle board for an hour or two on a calm bay, or book a short lesson with an instructor who explains balance, paddling and safety. Guided sunrise or sunset paddles are also possible. It is a quiet, low-cost way to be on the water and suits beginners as long as the sea is flat. Our team suggests the beach that is calmest for the season and time of day.

Questions & answers
I have never paddled before. Is that okay?
Yes. A short lesson is a good start, and most people can paddle on their own after it.
Can children paddle?
Older children can join with an adult, and many kayaks have two seats. Tell us their ages.
Which beach do you suggest?
It depends on the wind that week. Our team suggests a calm spot when we confirm your request.
