2-Person Inflatable Kayak Set, Dakota K2 with 86in Oars and Pump

This kayak offers great value for the price. The material is notably thick and durable, giving me confidence in its longevity. I also really like the color. Inflation and deflation are straightforward, but be prepared to put in some muscles during the process. My only wish is for a higher backrest for extra comfort.

I was impressed with the stability and weight it can handle for the money. It's very stable and seems a little more durable than I expected (Keeping in mind that it has a vinyl, air-filled bottom). The next price tier ($450-700?) would be more durable and have a "drop-stich" bottom. Our little Yorkie loves it and can walk between us on the large side air channels. I wasn't sure about the blow-up seats, but they are pretty comfortable and keep your butt 2" off the bottom (out of the water that inevitably splashes in or drips off the paddles). Sets up on about 10 minutes. The high-volume hand pump works well. I just wish it had a pressure gauge like our paddle board pump has instead of using the silly little ruler they give you to determine if the sides are blown up enough. I DON'T recommend this for larger people. You would have to squeeze in between the sides to get in. I'm 5'9" and 170 Lbs, my wife is 5'2" and under 120. I don't think it would be good if I were 185-190+.

Great little Kayak. Be sure to watch the inflation of the unit, be sure to inflate just a touch under what the strip gauge shows....reason being... in 100degree weather... at the lake... the units air pressure does increase and it will self over inflate! I could actually see from day one... thick seam weld, and then by the late afternoon heat, a thinner seam weld. I checked the inflation using the strip gauge and it showed to be a tad OVER inflated by afternoons end on the lake. So you really have to pay attention to the inflation levels. The fin is detachable and works well. I would recommend this being set up in the living room and getting a "dry" run to get the seating good for you and your partner... it's kinda tough to do once your in the water. Then deflate it and go! I did like the fact the paddles had the option of being offset when you put them together. They are decent and worked well for us. The included pump works great. I used my electric to do the "bulk" air fill, then topped up with the included one... it will create enough pressure to easily overfill the unit so be sure to watch the strip gauge closely!! The box contained TWO strip gauges... that was a nice touch. The included dry bags are ok.. had no instructions on how to use them... fortunately my partner knew and showed me what to do. :) Over all pretty stable on the lake... the wake-boarding boat wakes were fun to ride through. I never felt like we were gonna tip over. It is not self bailing. there is a plug at the front to let the water drain after getting out. I thought for the price.. this is a good unit to get to see if your gonnna enjoy the sport more. :)

This was a very good purchase. The materials used are excellent quality. It is not flimsy. It solidly holds two people. In fact the maneuverability is better with two people in it. It never feels like it’s going to tip over. The paddles are super nice. They come apart and you can store and carry them in one of two bags they give you. It inflates in just a few minutes. If there is any negative, it’s that the wind can blow it around pretty easily but it’s still very maneuverable. Very happy with this kayak. I’ve wanted one for a long time but didn’t know how to deal with storage and transportation. This is the answer!

It was so easy, the leg room was great and still had more for a 5ft4" and 5ft6" person. Took it out on the lake for the maiden voyage , and it was easy to steer in calm water, still pretty doable when it got choppy too though. We took it all over that lake. And it's super easy to deflate and put back in the dang bag which is always a freakin win haha good job on this one inter. I have zero complaints. Update: I did indeed buy a second one. And also the K2

Good canoe for the money, we bought this so all 4 of us could get out on the water while our wooden canoe is being repaired, it’s easy to inflate and deflate with the supplied stirrup pump and folds up easily. The bag that it comes with seems sturdy enough and is definitely big enough so you don’t have to struggle trying fit the canoe back in it. My wife paddled this most of the time with our two 6 year olds in with her without any difficulty, sat in the water well and she said it was stable, her only gripe was that there is a seam on the top of the side chambers that rubs your arm but other than that we are happy with it

Have taken it out several times now and it's incredible, fast to set up, fun to swim in. Bag is not great, ripped easily but it's not too bad

Nice inflatable. Has 2 different valve types. 1 like you find on kids inflatables and 2 larger, double black ones which are a way to put air in and fast out. Make sure the larger is tight before opening smaller so no air leaks. Used this over a few hours on river with a dog also on board! Roomy enough. Not too heavy when walking from water around locks. Make sure to get all air out when shrinking. Paddles good enough for price. Nice way to spend a few hours and great exercise. 👍 placed the larger fin underneath and when taking out of water had to manouever/lift to take off before walking. Bit fiddly but 2 people makes it possible. Is a smaller fin if you want to use instead. The pump has 2 nozzles attached to end. Don't remove these. They are meant to stay attached.

I bought thus for my husband and he loves it! Easy to transport and use solo as well as with 2 people. Don't forget to order your saftey kit and life jackets!
