Overview
Kayaking in Havelock Island is a calm and scenic way to explore the island from the water. Frogman offers different kayaking experiences based on the time of day, including Bioluminescence Kayaking, Sunrise Kayaking and Sunset Kayaking.
The Bioluminescence Kayaking experience is designed around dark, low-light conditions when naturally occurring bioluminescent plankton may be visible in the water. As the kayak and paddle disturb the water, the plankton can create a natural glowing effect.
The Sunrise Kayaking experience takes place during the early morning. It offers a quiet paddle around Havelock while the surroundings become brighter with the rising sun. The early timing can also provide opportunities to observe birds and enjoy the changing morning light.
The activity is designed for beginners and does not require previous kayaking experience. Swimming skills are also not required according to the vendor. Participants are provided with safety equipment and guided during the activity.
