I was wondering when some enterprising individual would realize what wonderful opportunities for sea kayaking are available on Bermuda; well, here we are at last.
Kayak Bermuda is the brainchild of Stephen “V” and Lexie
McKey. They don’t have a full sea-going itinerary yet, but
what they do have is something unique and extraordinarily
appealing. At the moment, they are specializing in short
tours, 2½ to three hours, that anyone, experienced or not,
can easily manage. They start with a practice paddle along
Millionaire’s Row at Tucker’s Town and then continue on
along the coral and limestone cliffs of the Castle Island Nature
Reserve. There, you can observe the longtail birds and
float over the coral reefs. After 35 to 45 minutes, you have
the choice of relaxing on the beach or snorkeling, or you can
continue kayaking another 20 to 25 minutes to reach some
faster and more exciting paddling in the waves off the South
Shore.
Then again, you might like to go on the evening tour, which will take you along the North Shore to observe the sunset. I’ve got to tell you, this sort of soft adventure really appeals to me. The company uses the safe “sit on top” kayaks that are stable and easy to use, even for first-timers; full instruction is included. Tours depart at 9:30 am, 1:30 pm and 7 pm, June through September, from Ordnance Island & Penno’s Wharf, St. George. The rate is $50 per person for all ages over eight years old. Children under 16 must paddle with an able adult. Payment is at the dock by cash or credit card. It’s best to make a reservation at 441-737-7378.
