Kayaks on the backwater at Arikady in morning sun: a paddler in a blue shirt and orange life jacket in a lime kayak, a second kayak further along the bank, a third bow entering the frame, and sunlit trees reflected in the still green water.

On the Kumbla estuary

Kayaking fromour own bank

Flat water, sit-on-top kayaks and a guide who goes out with you. Beginners are the point, not the exception.

Out on the water

Paddle the backwater

It launches from the resort’s own stretch of the estuary — you walk down to it rather than drive somewhere.

Looking forward from a kayak on the backwater at Arikady: the yellow bow and the paddler's feet in the foreground, still water opening ahead between wooded banks, with the trees mirrored on the surface under a clear morning sky.

The water

A tidal river, not a lagoon — flat and green in the dry months, running brown after the monsoon.
Two paddlers in orange life jackets in an orange and yellow two-seater sit-on-top kayak on the flat blue-green water of the Kumbla estuary, one paddle raised mid-stroke, with a low sandy shoreline and bare driftwood behind them.

From the bank

Sit-on-top kayaks, launched from the property, a short walk from the rooms.
The property seen from the estuary: a coursed laterite block wall holding the bank, and a tiled roof among the coconut palms behind it.

What comes with it
