Who Should Try This?
This activity is perfect for the following types of travellers:
Couples
Even though it’s for an individual, couples can book two singles and paddle side by side – more freedom than a tandem kayak.
Families
Families with older children can each take a single kayak. It’s a great way to teach independence and coordination.
Solo Travelers
Designed for you! Enjoy the ultimate solo paddling experience – go at your own pace, choose your route, and soak in the solitude.
Nature Lovers
A single kayak is quieter and easier to manoeuvre, so you can sneak up on birds and wildlife without disturbing them.
Content Creators
Shoot from your own boat without worrying about another person rocking the kayak. Perfect for self‑filmed POV content.
Beginners
Learning in a single kayak builds confidence faster – you control everything. Instructors give one‑on‑one attention.

A map and emergency whistle are provided. You must stay within the marked boundaries. For a guided option, book the 'Premium Guided Kayak Tour' instead.
Do I need to bring my own safety gear?
No, we provide all necessary gear: life jacket (ISO certified), paddle, spray skirt (optional), and a dry bag for your valuables. A waterproof phone case is available for rent (₹50). You must wear the life jacket at all times. Our staff will check your fit before departure.
How do I reach the kayaking starting point?
The starting point is at Siolim Bridge or Revora jetty depending on tide. Exact location is sent after booking. Transport is not included, but we partner with pavancab.com. WhatsApp +918180951176 with your hotel name to arrange a cab. Parking is free for scooters and cars near the jetty.
What if I capsize? Is there support?
Capsizing is rare with sit-on-top kayaks in calm backwaters. If it happens, stay calm – your life jacket will keep you afloat. Our safety kayaker is within 100 meters and will assist you to flip the kayak and get back on. All solo kayakers are given a brief self-rescue demo before starting.
