Canoe & Kayak Ltd has been your trusted partner in kayak adventures since 1994, with founder Peter Townend still at the helm, often taking the lead on the trips. As the Managing Director, Peter guarantees safety and exceptional service by maintaining an impressively low guide-to-guest ratio of 1 GUIDE TO 6 CUSTOMERS, ensuring that you receive the personal attention that enhances your overall experience.
Please keep in mind that if bioluminescence is not observed during your trip, this will need to be verified by your guide on that night, ensuring transparency and a commitment to your satisfaction.
