All meals are shared, and everyone sleeps in the shared closed space on the deck of the boat, curtain separation.

Kayaking There's no pressure to paddle every stretch; the boat crew are very accommodating of those who want to get plucked from the water (or lowered into it) in the middle of a stretch of paddling, and there's also the option of just chilling around on the boat.
