Choose a single or tandem (two-person) kayak. Make sure you select your kayak preference when you book.
Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Wear a bathing suit if you plan to swim, and choose layered, quick-drying clothing (avoid jeans). Wear sturdy footwear for rocky beaches; you will get your feet wet getting in and out of the kayaks. Bring extra snacks or lunch if you want more than what’s provided.
