How to pick a good kayak tour

  1. Most tours use stable sit-on-top kayaks and suit beginners; ask if you're unsure.
  2. Doubles are easier for first-timers; singles give you your own pace.
  3. Bring a dry bag for your phone, or ask whether one is provided.
  4. Go early: the water is calmer and the wind lighter in the morning.
