7. Small group size

We are pioneering the clean-up of Venezuela with the Venezuelan government ! Jakera actively introduces clean the beaches programs, and we have adopted several remote island beaches that we keep clean.

11. No experience is necessary
You don't need any prior kayaking experience to join our trips. Sea kayaks are stable, comfortable, very seaworthy and ideal for exploring coastlines, or steaming jungles. With the help of experienced guides, novice paddlers can easily adapt to sea kayaking. The skills necessary to paddle a sea kayak can be learned quickly and easily by anyone in good health and reasonable fitness. Possessing a positive attitude and sense of adventure are more important than being in super shape.
