While the first one is longer, the second one is a bit shorter. Although, both the tours can be done by first timers, without any previous kayaking or even swimming experience.

Of course, the most popular one is the long island route. While a lot of people choose the chill route so that they can literally chill more in the kayak instead of having an adventurous tour.

You’ll get to go to the bird island, the sunrise & sunset point and have a tea break with both the routes.
