About the Activity
Once you’ve landed, you’ve seen the bustling city of Port Blair but wouldn’t it be nice to also see the quiet side of it? Early Morning Kayaking will sort this out for you. The birds are awake and the forests are breathing and rated as one of the top things to do in Port Blair. You’re bound to let all your worries go and have a relaxed time here.
Tanaz Noble, also known as the Queen of Kayaking is called so because of obvious reasons! She is the first Indian kayaker to have successfully kayaked 70 nautical miles of open seas in just 36 hours. Not only this, in 2015, she embarked on a kayaking journey, covering a distance of 100 kilometers in just 11 hours making her way through different islands of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. In hope to expose kayaking to more and more people, “Tanaz and Shiraz Kayakwala” undertake kayaking expeditions in Port Blair.

How tiring is kayaking?
Kayaking is similar to trekking. We keep moving at a constant pace and take breaks from time to time. Moving in water is more efficient than land. To cover the same distance, kayaking takes less energy than trekking. It is an excellent workout for the upper body.
I don’t know swimming, can I go for Kayaking?
Absolutely, you will be provided a life jacket while kayaking. In the past, many participants who didn’t know how to swim have kayaked with us & enjoyed it thoroughly!
Is Kayaking in the Andamans safe?
Kayaking is perfectly safe if done with reputed vendors who have the experience and a deep understanding of the sea. AT GO2ANDAMAN, we only work with operators who have the right credentials & certifications. We test out the experience ourselves before deciding on who we’ll work with.

What to wear while Kayaking in the Andamans?
Wear comfortable clothes – t-shirts, shorts and track pants are some of the comfortable options. If possible, wear a full sleeve t-shirt to avoid sunburns. Avoid jeans or cotton t-shirts as these tend to stay wet for long. Choose quick-dry clothes instead. For footwear, choose flip-flops, water sandals or paddling shoes. Anything that is waterproof and light will work.
