KAYAKING - 5 DAY PROGRAMME
|
|
Our kayaking programme provides comprehensive instruction that teaches each child the skills to make paddling easy, fun… and safe!
In order to create a solid working foundation we begin with some basic classroom instruction on: (1) water safety (2) parts of the kayak and (3) review of all essential paddle gear. We then move on to cover the basics of tides, weather and chart reading. The on-water instruction will begin with the fundamentals of paddling and then progress to rescue techniques, trip planning and more advanced paddle techniques. |

Stepping up a notch from day 1, we explore some less accessible areas of Sai Kung Country park. Embark on an adventure in search of remote islands and untouched white sand beaches! Paddling through peaceful mangroves and exciting sea caves. - Click here for more info
WEDNESDAY - STANLEY KAYAKING ON THE SOUTH SIDE
For a change of locale, on the middle day of the programme we explore some different scenery on Hong Kong Island. From Stanley, we can explore Tai Tam inlet before working our way along the Shek O Peninsula towards Cape D'Aguilar.
THURSDAY - SHEUNG SZE WAN CHALLENGE
On our penultimate day, we will turn up the wild factor on our kayaking and sharpen our skills in Clearwater Bay, in preparation for final push on Friday. If we do well here, there are lots of caves and a big sea arch we can explore.
FRIDAY - GEOPARK GRAND FINALÈ
Weather allowing, we will absolutely save the best for last! The waters out at Pak Lap Wan are exposed, at times challenging, but the most rewarding to explore. The scenery we will explore is unparalleled. Sea arches and caves galore to explore, this will be an full culmination of everything the kids learnt through the week prior - Click here for more info
(We have scope to reorder the itinerary on the week, to work around challenging weather if needed)
