Kayaking during daylight hours on Havelock Island is a spectacular kayak experience in what may be the clearest turquoise blue waters in the Andaman Sea. You will kayak on glass smooth water and look straight down to see tropical fishes, colorful coral reefs, and underwater rock formations, all below the kayaks, and without needing snorkels or to go below the water. We note it because we don't want to forget to mention the amazing visibility you will have in the daytime. We cannot emphasize enough that this will be one of the prettiest kayaking experiences you will have, on the water.
Another unique perk to the experience is the freedom of the route. Depending on the height of the tide, and of your preferences, the knowledgeable guides may suggest a leisurely route through quiet mangrove creeks, where areas dense with green vegetation appear to form a tunnel-like passage through wildlife and marine activity. Or they may suggest a more aesthetically pleasing coastal route, which may last for hours along sandy and rocky areas with signature views of the expansive sea, and birds, flying fish or local sea eagles flying directly overhead. The different routes certainly represent different sides of natural amazement in Havelock.
Whether you have been kayaking many times, or it's your first paddle experience, this hosted day canoeing trip is designed for all ages and ability levels to be engaged and comfortable. Before paddling begins there is a comprehensive safety briefing with kayak paddling instructions so everyone is safe and comfortable. We will have soft comfortable personal flotation devices (PFDs) to wear along with lightweight stable kayaks. This excursion is designed for families and beginner inspired kayak paddling experiences but we also have plenty of excitement for thrill seeking adventures!
Although you will be doing some paddling, this is far more than simply a paddle tour; this is a tour of some of the best ecosystems the Andaman Islands have to offer. When you float quietly in your kayak, you might even see approaching herons, kingfishers, turtles, or even the notorious crabs scurrying visibility across the tangled mangrove roots. This exploration is a low-impact and eco-friendly approach that allows you to experience wildlife closely and without disturbing their surroundings.
