What kinds of kayaks does Paddling South use? May I use a single kayak?
Single (Viking) and double (Tango) fiberglass Seda brand touring kayaks are used on our trips. Usually the guides will pack and paddle the single kayaks, and guests will be given the double kayaks. If you would like some practice in a single kayak there is often time at camp for guides to help you hone your skills, and sometimes there is a single kayak to be shared between guests while paddling from camp to camp. For a small “dedicated single kayak” fee, a single may be used by a guest during the whole trip. We require that you have prior experience paddling a fully loaded expedition single sea kayak (not just a sit-on-top style). And we may request that you demonstrate a self-rescue to determine your skill. Ask in the Paddling South office about rates and availability.
