Please be aware that natural elements are beyond our control. Occasionally, floating water plants may obstruct kayaking routes, making certain canals impassable. In such cases, we will guide you along an alternative route. If no alternative is available, we may need to backtrack along the same path. At times, a short walk by the canals may be necessary, during which the guide will manage the equipment. Your understanding of these occasional adjustments is appreciated as they are integral to the adventurous experience.

In case the kayaking conditions become challenging due to the weather, our experienced guide will arrange a motorboat for your convenience, subject to additional charges. It is recommended to choose cooler hours to minimize disruption.

Engaging local guides who possess in-depth knowledge of the region, we aim to enhance your exploration experience. However, new guides may initially exhibit shyness or uncertainty about your level of curiosity. Don't hesitate to initiate conversation and ask questions to foster a more comfortable and interactive atmosphere between you and the guide.
