Cycles and kayaks
can be rented from many of these shops and guiding and instruction are
often available. These outlets are also the best place to acquire critical
local knowledge on the areas wildlife, trials, kayak routes and conditions.
The islands also have
their share of outdoor clubs and associations which maintain trails and
work as advocates to ensure that sports and nature areas are kept open
to enthusiasts. Many of the trials, parks and recreational areas have
been set aside because of the tireless work of these groups. Make a point
of pitching in with some volunteer work, or perhaps a donation, to ensure
that the their efforts can continue.
