For the love of Kayaking

[DapperButch]

So I have only done canoeing in calm waters and of course the standard white water rafting group thing.

I have been wanting to try kayaking for years, but never got around to it.

tantalizingfemme wants to try it too, so for my birthday she got us a gift certificate for a guided eco-tour. They have different tours and we are going to choose the tight river, swampy type one. I am looking forward to it and if we like it enough and we can find some kayaks in our price range, we may have a new activity!

I am trying to decide if we should rent a tandum kayak or a two singles. I am leaning towards two singles, but it would be fun to be together, too.

What are people's thoughts on this? I am assuming that if we want to get into this as a sport we will buy singles (?), so I figure we should use singles on this tour to assess how much we like this sport. Thanks.
