IS THIS TRIP FOR ME?

The Stirling Sunriser will suit you if:

You are happy to kayak for up to 4 hours in potentially turbulent waters.
You have high levels of water confidence & physical fitness.
You love chasing watersfalls and aren’t afraid to get wet!
For safety reasons this trip is for 16 years and over only, if bookings are made for children younger than 16, your trip may be cancelled on site by the guide and no refunds given.

Note: Spaces are limited on each trip. If you book a trip that turns out isn’t right for you, you are taking the space from someone who could have enjoyed it! We cannot refund you if your guide deems you unsuitable to paddle, so please choose with care. If this looks a bit tough, might the Sunriser Classic suit you better?
