We were picked up by a lovely local who took us to his beach cafe where we were to start our tour. He was explained everything and then introduced us to Peter our guide, a young man who for the whole kayaking was on his.phone and we just followed him, he didn't do much in the way of telling us what we were passing, history etc. So we just enjoyed it with the others on the tour. we headed back to the beach bar, where the owner let us use his paddle.boards and enjoy drinks.before our return.

Het werdt verkocht als kayak door grotten met gids en strand bbq, maar was eigenlijk zelf kayak langs rotsinhammingen langs de kust met instructeur (gids vertelde niks en was ver vooruit de groep)& lunch (in een restaurant) aan het meer i.p.v. strand bbq. Begeleiders waren verder heel aardig en legde alles goed uit over activiteit & dagschema. Voor de rest moet je het zelf leuk maken. De ervaring & uitzichten waren geweldig en we hebben bij 3 stranden gezwommen & kunnen peddelboarden.

Ik heb geen ervaring met kajakken. Er werd geen uitleg gegeven, maar ik vond het niet zo moeilijk en pikte het snel op. Mijn 8 jarige zoon kreeg een zwemvest aangeboden, maar nadat ik duidelijk had gemaakt dat dit niet nodig was (hij heeft een A- en B-zwemdiploma), hoefde hij hem niet om. Het was best een eindje als je het niet gewend bent, maar nog wel te doen. Mooie omgeving. Barbecue was leuk. NB Bij de excursie 'bergwandeling door Galica met strandmiddag', krijg je exact dezelfde barbecue.

Je kan het geen tour met gids noemen. Er wordt niks uitgelegd en niks verteld. Je krijgt een 2-persoons kayak en je gaat achter de gids aanvaren. Bij een strandje mag je een half uurtje zwemmen en dan ga je weer verder. Geen uitleg of informatie oid. Heel teleurstellend.

I have never been kayaking before and there was no instruction from the guides about technique and I had to figure it out myself whilst trying to keep up with the group. Some brief tips would have been useful. Other than that it was a good day. The route and beach were beautiful.

Quite a long way to kayak, but did stop off at beach for a hour. Definitely need sea shoes as very rocky. bbq lunch was great. Plenty to eat but you did pay for drinks so remember to bring cash.

When we arrived there wasn’t any explanation from the staff about what we were going to do - we were literally just put into kayaks and off we went! It needed a short simple welcome and overview of the day - maybe a simple map of where we were going. No Health and Safety instructions either, but it was all safe and obvious. We had to wait a long time for the coach at the end of the day - again, to be told this would have helped - we probably could have kayaked for longer had we known.

Ik en mijn zus gingen kayakken, kwam er achter dat het bij m'n zus niet lukte. De gids heeft haar toen heen en terug gepaddleboard en de lunch verzorgt! Het was een hele aardige man die hard werkte en hielp waar hij dit kon. Terugweg kon ik met de andere gids samen in een andere kayak, waardoor ik wel bij de groep kon blijven. Ze zijn heel vriendelijk en vertellen dingen over waar je bent en wat je ziet. Kunnen redelijk goed Engels. Ik raad het aan, alleen is het wel hard werken in de zon!

Absolutely fantastic setting. We had a great time, but we recommend offering life jackets to everyone on the kayak. The restaurant was amazing, with delicious food and a kind staff, but we would suggest making it clear no drinks are (soft & Alcohool) included in the meal before the trip, just so people can better prepare themselves to pay for it. We would recommend it
