Frequently Asked Questions

Night kayaking is a blend of serenity and calmness of paddling along with the beauty of the moonlit water and bioluminescence (during specific seasons). It is more of a quiet, serene view of the sea and it has a different perspective of the sea, during sunset.

Yes, safety is a top priority. Everyone is equipped with life jackets and the group is led by a professional team of trained people who use markers by the light and communication equipment to make sure that the group is not lost.

The level of basic experience in kayaking is beneficial but not compulsory. All participants are briefed by guides on techniques before the session and to ensure that the activity entails the beginner, calm waters are chosen.

Bioluminescence may even be observed when kayaking at night, particularly in the hotter seasons when the glowing plankton are alive. Nevertheless, this natural effect cannot be ensured on a nightly basis.

Wear light-weight water resistant clothes and closed-toe water shoes. Because the weather changes a bit and becomes a little cooler at night, it is not a bad idea to carry along a light cover-up or rash guard.

Very young children might not be the best night kayakers in case of changing conditions of light and sea. Most of the operators suggest an age requirement of 10 and above, but a supervision of adults is necessary.

Night kayaking would take approximately 60-90 minutes on top of the safety briefing and the actual paddling. It also takes a little time based on the tide and visibility.

No. Guides apply kayak lights and coastal signs to light up the path. The moon, stars also contribute to visibility and this makes it a secure but airy experience.

Yes, the non-swimmers can also attend night kayaking as long as they use a life jacket and stay with the group. Teachers select less turbulent areas of water to be on the safe side.

The Hostel Nemo personnel will assist you in planning your night kayaking adventure by providing advice on when and who to book with, weather conditions, what to carry along as well as making bookings with reliable companies. We suggest that you come a little bit earlier than the time of departure, say 15 minutes and do not eat heavy meals before you go paddling.
