Kayaks
– All the kayaks are imported
new from the manufacturer in South Africa.
They are designed specifically for use in
the temperatures and coastal waters of Africa.
Due to the warm temperatures of the Lamu Archipelago
all kayaks are sit-on-top touring kayaks with
no splash skirts or hot neoprene covers. As
well as reducing the heat otherwise created
under a splash cover, sit-on-top kayaks allow
easy exit/entry whilst snorkelling or swimming,
do away with the need for technical rolls
and provide freedom of movement when fishing
or taking pictures.
Tandem kayaks are preferred allowing paddlers
to better match strengths, improving energy
efficiency and making it easier for paddlers
to enjoy the surroundings. For more experienced
paddlers there is the option of a solo kayak
or solo fishing kayak. Each kayak has deck
webbing, hatches for storing masks, cameras,
snacks, etc and rod holders. It is not necessary
for paddlers to be experienced or super fit,
the general rule is that if you are fit enough
to swim and have no debilitating injuries
you will be able to paddle.
