IS THIS TRIP FOR YOU?

The Sunriser Classic will suit you if:

You relish the chance to explore the fiord by kayak.
You are happy to spend up to 3.5 hours paddling.
You are happy not going the length of the fiord to the sea.
You have reasonable levels of water confidence and physical fitness.
For safety reasons this trip is for 14 years and over only, if bookings are made for children younger than 14, your trip may be cancelled on site by the guide and no refunds given.

Note: This trip does not go the length of the fiord. If you fancy more of a challenge and would like to go further, might the Stirling Sunriser suit you better? Or if the Sunriser seems a little much, might the Milford Cruiser suit you better?
