Good to know

The honest fine print.

  • All paddlers must be able to swim.
  • Children paddle in a double with a parent — ask us about young kids.
  • Weather rules the day. If conditions aren't safe, we'll say so and move your rental.
  • Open daily 07:00–18:00.

Questions

Rental FAQ

Are permits included?
No. Every visitor to Raja Ampat needs both the Marine Park Permit and Visitor Fee. Please purchase them before your paddle.
What if conditions aren't safe?
Gam Bay is naturally sheltered, but wind and sea state still matter. We'll be honest: if conditions aren't safe, we'll move your rental to another day or time.
Can I add dry bags or snorkel gear?
Dry bags are available to rent (€5) or buy (€25), and snorkel gear rents for €5 per day. Mention any extras in your request and we'll confirm availability.
Do I need kayaking experience?
No — our trips suit all skill levels. You get a briefing before you start, and the bay has calm, sheltered water to warm up in.
Can I rent a kayak alone?
Yes. A solo paddler takes a double kayak at the normal per-kayak price.
How many kayaks does my group need?
At least one double per two paddlers — a group of 5 needs 3 kayaks. We have 5 doubles, so up to 10 paddlers at once.
