About the Kayaks
Yes, you may bring your dog and the price is the same as for a human. However, if you have not kayaked with your dog before, we recommend that you do so on a small lake when the weather and water are at their warmest. Check out the video and read more about a Japanese Spitz that kayaked with us last year.
Yes, the Boreal Design Ookpik is well-suited for tall (195+ cm) and large paddlers. Please let us know in advance, so we can have it set aside for you.
Yes, kids older than 5 will normally enjoy kayaking. For kids 5 years old and up to 10/11-years it’s normally best with a double kayak. Let the kid sit in the front seat. The double kayak works fine, even if the kid stops paddling. I have often kayaked for hours, without any help from the kid in the front, he was just relaxing. Kids older than 10 will often handle one of the single kayaks.
We have ten single kayaks and three double kayaks. See pictures at the bottom of this page.
All double kayaks and 3 of 4 single kayaks have a rodder. Disclaimer: Some rodders might be out of function some days each season (remember to take up the rodder when you make landfall). An interesting thing is that the main purpose of the rodder is not to turn, believe it or not. The main purpose is to help the kayak going straight in strong sidewind or currents (we have no currents, and rearly strong wind). Personally, I never use the rodder here unless the sidewind is very strong.
Only if you have kayak certificate and experience, because it’s safer without. We have 2 spray skirts.
Yes. We have many vests, from 15 kilos up to 90+. Vest, paddle and map are always included.
Swim shoes are included so you can enter and exit (on a beach, for example), without getting your holiday shoes wet.
In the waterproof room in the kayaks, or inside your car or in our house. Drybag is not necessary, since the kayaks have waterproof rooms.
