No. You’re not required to possess any experience in Kayaking. The Kayaking activity in Ao Thalane is suitable for both newcomers and experienced people. Since the water is calm and smooth, there is no need to worry about safety. Perhaps, they will give you a life jacket to ensure you’re safe and secure.
Before getting your hands into the ride, you will be given an overview, basic theory of Kayaking, safety tips, and must-know hand gestures, followed by some practice (if necessary). Finally, you will be accompanied by an instructor throughout the ride, just to make sure you’re riding correctly without any discomfort.
