Erin
Asked on July 30th, 2024Is it possible to do the trip with 3 people with only a bit of camping experience?
- Do the NorthOperator•Written July 2024
It's totally fine to have just a bit of camping experience. We do a 3 hour briefing before you head out, and go through how to use all the kit, how to land the kayaks, how to find a good camp spot, navigation etc. We also give you our comprehensive guide book with points of interest.

Erin
Traveler•Written July 2024Would 3 1-person kayaks be an option as well? Is there an option to fish?
- Do the NorthOperator•Written July 2024
We have stable single kayaks for uneven groups, but there needs to be a double kayak in your group also. Our single kayaks can be quite unstable. A double kayak fits more food & gear, is easier to load, and is faster to paddle. We don't rent fishing equipment, but you can bring your own. You are likeliest to catch perch or pike.
