It is an excellent, very low-impact sport, easy to access and will give you confidence in and on the water. It may even safe your life! You can use a kayak, but as there is a chance of you falling into the water you should wear a life vest and always paddle with someone. ### Do kayaks flip over easily? Kayaks are mostly considered safe to use and are not easy to tip over. The recreational and touring kayaks we use here are extremely stable. However, that does not mean that they can’t capsize! But it will really depend on the type of boat, the conditions, your experience and the type of water you are planning on paddling in. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://dev.adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp-dev.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/2729f1c2eb62fb786edf1af844bce511/2024/04/Screenshot-2024-04-29-160633.png - **Gallery image count**: 12 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
