What is the minimum age for kayaking?
6 years old and must know how to swim.
What is the difference between a single and a double kayak?
On a double kayak, you are two people on the same boat, so it is more stable and you have more energy to move forward and thus combine your efforts for a better experience.
The single kayak is less stable, there is a much greater risk of capsizing. As you are the only element of movement, when there are several, it is not easy to be homogeneous!
That's why we advise you, if there are several of you, to take double kayaks.
For your information:
All our "double" kayaks are for 3 or even 4 people. However, this is manufacturer's marketing, because it is not possible for 3 adults to paddle without getting in each other's way. That's why we only let children from 6 to 9 years old sit in the middle.
Differences between a full-day and half-day tour
Half-day kayak tour (3 hours)
- Duration: 3 hours.
- Main sights: This tour offers a quick discovery of Île Verte and Mugel.
- Activities: Ideal for those short on time or wanting a quick experience. You'll have the chance to paddle and enjoy the scenery, but without deep exploration.
- Target audience: Perfect for families or groups with young children, or for those who want to try kayaking without committing to a full day.
Full-day kayak tour
- Duration: A full day (7 hours).
- Additional sights: In addition to Île Verte and Mugel, this tour includes visits to the Figuerolles calanques and the Trou du Diable (Devil's Hole).
- Activities: You'll have time to take a break for a picnic, enjoy the beaches, and explore the beautiful surrounding landscapes more thoroughly. It's an immersive experience that allows you to fully appreciate the beauty of the calanques.
- Target audience: Ideal for nature lovers, adventurers, and those who want to experience a relaxing day in nature.
Conclusion
In summary, choosing between a half-day and a full-day tour depends on your availability and desires. If you're looking for a quick experience, opt for the half-day. If you want to fully enjoy the calanques and have a pleasant time exploring, the full day is the best option.
