Overview
Kayaking in Havelock Island is a quiet outdoor activity that lets you explore the island from the water. It is suitable for beginners and does not require previous kayaking experience. Frogman offers different kayaking experiences based on the time and conditions, including mangrove, sunrise, sunset and bioluminescence kayaking.
The mangrove kayaking experience is a slow-paced paddle through the coastal mangrove environment around Havelock. The experience generally lasts around 1.5–2.5 hours
Sunset kayaking takes place in the evening and provides an opportunity to paddle while the natural light changes around sunset. It is a relaxed way to experience Havelock's coastal surroundings.
Before the activity, participants receive basic instructions and a safety briefing. The kayaking experience is guided, making it suitable for people who have not kayaked before. A life jacket and necessary kayaking equipment should be used throughout the activity.
