Features of a pedal kayak

This is a two-person kayak that you pedal with your feet.

It moves smoothly even with minimal effort, allowing you to glide effortlessly across the lake surface. (Twice the propulsion with half the effort)

Its stable design makes it safe and easy to use, even for first-timers or those with children.

◾️ポイント

This is recommended for those who want to enjoy a casual stroll on the lake in their everyday clothes, as well as families, friends, couples, and those with dogs (small dogs only).
*For medium-sized dogs and larger, the "4-person pedal boat" is recommended for a more comfortable experience.

Since both hands are free, you can enjoy looking at the scenery or taking pictures.

◾️Recommended ways to spend your time

It's also recommended to take a short break from pedaling along the way and enjoy a "cafe time on the lake" while admiring the scenery.

Bring your own snacks like burgers and sandwiches, local sweets, and your favorite drinks, and enjoy a unique and memorable experience on the lake.
