As the most remote inhabited island in the world, Tristan da Cunha is a place that should be explored from all angles. From the surface of the water, admire this volcanic island that rises so suddenly and unexpectedly from out of the vast ocean. Get to know what it feels like for the local inhabitants who venture into the sea in their small boats only when conditions allow and learn about their stamina and endurance in surviving this somewhat inhospitable place.
Please note: (Dis)embarking the kayaks may take place from the ship, a Zodiac, or other suitable location depending upon operational requirements. A Zodiac follows the kayaks to lend assistance as required. This tour operates weather permitting although rain does not deter us. As temperatures and weather conditions can vary, please dress in layers. A waterproof outer layer is provided in the form of a dry suit. Pogie gloves are provided, along with booties and dry bags for your cameras and extra gear. Bring a hat or beanie, camera and binoculars and wear sunglasses and sunscreen. Please remove all rings, watches, bracelets and earrings. No prior kayaking experience is required. A briefing and instructions on how to paddle are given before your tour departs. All kayaks are doubles. Maximum weight per kayak (2 persons) is 617lbs or 280kg. Minimum height for participants is 150 cm (5 ft). Guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
