Difference between packrafts and kayaks:
Choose between a packraft or kayak - packrafts are more stable and your child can go together with you if they are under 10. If you are wanting the most stable watercraft, then we recommend you choose a packraft - no need to book one in advance, just ask our guides at the start of the trip and we will help you. Kayaks are more sporty, but stull suitable for absolute beginners. Kayaks are slightly less stable but faster. If you are unsure what to use, then just ask our friendly guides and they will assist you.
