Sea kayaking is an exciting adventure activity that gives you the chance to see dolphins, sunfish, whales, seals and penguins at close range. Because everyone wears a buoyancy aid and there are two people per kayak, you can pair the child with an adult. Children from around the age of six years can kayak with Kaskazi. Depending on the child, and on special request, younger children can also sometimes kayak with Kaskazi Kayaks
