Kool Kayaking

Kool Kayaking is one of our most popular adventures. Just bring your Jungle Reef Adventures Passport to our centre’s ‘Immigration Officer’ for validation of your Action Visa and you're on your way. Our Prijon sea kayaks feature rudders, ergonomic seats, knee braces and carbon fiber paddles.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by our professionally trained guides. The first part of the day is a fun learning experience on and in the water with our professional staff. You will learn techniques on how to safely exit and re-enter your kayak on open water, basic paddle strokes and balance, as well as dry entry/exit from shore.

We take a deserved break for lunch at our Jungle Grille Restaurant and then head back to our kayaks. After lunch, we don our PFDs, Personal Flotation Devices and paddle up the coast over reefs to examine the weathered volcanic cliffs that give St. Lucia its renowned rugged beauty.

We then return southward passing small isolated beaches and our adventure centre on he way to Grand Caille Pointe. From here we can look across the entirety of Soufriere Bay and see the majestic twin peaks of the Pitons rising half a mile out of the sea.

It's an incredible place for photographs, especially with a waterproof camera! After spending some time along the rocky cliffs, you will head back to the Jungle Reef Adventure center where the beach and a snorkeling await. Later, you board our boat for your return trip back to your hotel.

If one day is not enough, come back for a second day for our Bat Cave-Pitons Adventure. All you have to do is renew your Passport and visa with our special offer. You will head south past Grand Caille Pointe, make the turn and head east towards the town of Soufriere. We first arrive at the Bat Cave, a vertical slice in the rocky cliff, with thousands of bats. After hanging around with the bats for a while, we turn south again and head for the Pitons.

We land ashore at the Pitons, conditions permitting, and stretch our legs.You can take a short walk-about, swim or lay out on a rock enjoying the fact that you're not at work! After a reasonable rest, we make our journey back across the bay to our adventure center for lunch. In the afternoon, relax on the beach, snorkel or enjoy our nature walks.

Important Stuff
Sol lucet omnibus, the sun shines on everyone. So bring sunscreen and use it. Also, a synthetic, lightweight and loose long sleeve garment can be helpful in keeping you from sunburn. Polarized sunglasses with a securing device and a head covering, wide brimmed preferably, are strongly advised. A swimsuit is fine for kayaking here. Cmfortable footwear that can get wet, neoprene booties, etc. are best. We usually have some of these items available in our retail centre. The Kool Kayaking tour includes all the features of the Rainbow Reef Safari (for all the details, please visit the Rainbow Reef Safari page).

Rarely, there may be days when sudden weather conditions, rains or winds, may warrant cancellation for safety reasons by staff of the tour portion. Should this occur, all kayakers will be issued a voucher for one free Kool Kayaking Action Visa or offered participation in one of our other adventures. We do not have an age restriction per se. Everyone must be physically able to handle a kayak and be a comfortable in the water as a swimmer. We do have weight restrictions. On the low end of things, you must weigh at least 110 pounds/50 kilos and our maximum weight is 220 pounds/100 kilos. The kayak cockpits can be a tight squeeze for a few folks.

We have a small fleet of kayaks (singles and one tandem), so please keep this in mind when booking.
