Excursion Pro K1 1-Person Inflatable Kayak Set with Paddles and Pump

Very good for shorter river trips 1-2days or a full day of fishing. They features I like most about this kayak compared to some of the others in this price range is the D rings and the seat setup. You can buy after market d ring kits but they can’t be put in inflatable kayaks that stretch. D rings are very useful for rapids and white water. Having the ability to clip/strap you stuff to your kayak incase it flips is important. The seat and bottom inflatable booster is a very nice touch. Riding on the booster makes it a little unstable on rapids due to being higher up. At the same time it is nice because it keeps you out of any water that splashes in making it longer in between time you need to bail it. It also has a bailing hole in the back so you don’t have to flip it over to drain. The booster is also nice for flat water and fishing because again you wont be sitting in any water that comes in and it gives you more hip space. It get a lot more stable if you take out the booster for rapids and being that it is not very big you can take it in and out and you wont get winded if you choose to deflate it for a river trio when you know bigger rapids are coming up. The sides and bottom get fairly stiff when inflated to recommendation of the gauge so class 1&2 white water will be fine. I am not 100 percent if I would take it on higher classes. It maneuvera well and the 2 skeg length both track ok. The oar is serviceable for a beginner. It is rather light but the paddles are kinda flimsy. There is a lot of complaints about the fishing pole holders pointing away from the kayak and I can agree. They are just fine if you are putting stuff on your line or just holding your pole for paddling but they are a little bothersome if you want to set it and for get it. Having them face out the side or swivel would be better. All in all I am very happy with this and try to use it a couple times a week. I bought a separate backpack for the pump and attachments so I don’t know how well it all fits in the bag.

We have an expensive Vibe Ocean Kayak weighing nearly 100 lbs and have really enjoyed it for the past 18 months but felt we wanted something easier to load, unload, use and go about our days so we could just go kayaking for half a day, no huge strain, portable, but didn’t want to sacrifice sturdiness and durability so we ordered the Excursion Pro for about $174 each, we ordered 2. We found it took about 15 min for each kayak when us old buggers blew up the three chambers and, it was doable. We kayaked for a few hours and it felt great, we felt safe in the mangroves.. even with alligators around, we had about 300 lbs and it could have handled more. The Kayak itself said it held only 260 or something but online it said 400 so we ignored the boat itself. It can easily handled 400- 450 lbs.. If I had a negative comment it would be the oars are poor quality so we will use our better oars for them. Also, there is a bit of a learning curve. It took an hour first time and 15 min 2nd time. Keep in mind we are 65 and 68 years old, so you have to cut us some slack. We OPENED THE BOX WITH CARE so as not to cut the kayak. We like these kayaks so far. We’ve only been out in them 2x but we look forward to many more fun and hassle free times. The Florida Brohman’s

I just got this today and will take it on it’s maiden voyage tomorrow. I did inflate it and deflate it today, just to check it out. Very quick inflation and deflation. Maybe 4 minutes to inflate and 4 to deflate. The ability to deflate with the pump is awesome. The kayak itself seems very sturdy and the material seems very tough. I’ll update this review after I actually get it in the water. Finally got this kayak on the water! I kayak on a very calm lake and this kayak performed very well. It was light enough for me to carry it fully inflated to the water by myself, I'm a very weak 55 year old female with a bad back, so this is a good thing! I paddled around for a few hours and was very comfortable in it. I had plenty of leg room and I'm 5'5" tall. I found the foot rest uncomfortable, so I took it out. This kayak is designed as a fisherman's kayak, so it has additional features like pole holders, a bar to hold a sonar device and a pole to hold a go pro or phone. I will probably never use these, as I just like to paddle around and enjoy the lake. So far, so good. I'll update this review if I have anything additional to add.

Just tried it out today for its first test on a local lake and I can say I definitely recommend it with some very important things a buyer should consider. PROS: -Extremely easy to unpack and to blow up. Took less than 5 minutes from packed to ready to paddle. -Very maneuverable and very lightweight. Not very fast though, this is best for casual paddling only. -I am 6ft 1in and 240lb, the kayak felt like it fit me pretty well and I did not feel too heavy for it (except for the chair). CONS: -The chair is pretty bad, I am going to be replacing it ASAP, it was good enough for the first 20 minutes but after that it felt like my back was going to explode and I am a reasonably healthy person. -The paddle is acceptable for now but it will be the second thing I upgrade, it doesn't feel like it will break but it just feels a little flimsy. -The kayak does not carry any momentum, the moment you stop paddling you stop dead in the water. Feels a bit like paddling a large raft more so than a kayak. It is still nice to have for very casual use. -Dont expect to have a smooth time fishing, the fishing pole holders arent very deep and your rod would slip out very easily. No room to store a decent cooler or tackle box.

The Kayak itself is great. However, no back support for the seat cushion (not advertised) and a foot rest was useless and would not stay in place. Intex dropped the ball on this one.

I am writing this review four years after the purchase. I bought two of these so that we could each use them with one of us and one of our dogs. They are easy to pack and use with just one person. Very relaxing and fun to use. We noticed at the end of last year that there was a slow leak on the side. It took a couple hours to even feel anything so it didn’t hold us back from using them. Yesterday we took him out for the first time since last year. We were out about two hours and there was a significant notice in the deflation in one of the kayaks in one section. But again I was out for two hours and able to paddle back and it was just soft, not dangerous. With a quick soap water technique I found the leak and patched it (very small) with the included quick patch kit. Will be using again this week. This has been a very good purchase.

Get a small electric pump and you are all good. Very good quality camera, easy to use, very stable in water. I enjoyed it very much.

If you are serious about kayaking or fishing, don’t waste your time. It’s serviceable.. but that’s about it. While I enjoyed the one trip I was able to take it on, one of the side compartments got a hole and was deflating on me on the water. The worst I did was paddle over some sticks near the launch which were unavoidable. I can’t even say for certain if the sticks caused the tiny air leak or if it just came that way. This thing is also terrible in any wind or current. You will not be able to stay straight if you stop paddling. You will need to upgrade your seat & paddles for sure. Finally, inflating and deflating this was the worst experience of the whole trip. Set up isn’t terrible, although it does take 5-10 minutes to inflate and attach all your gear. Deflating and packing up on the other hand was brutal. It takes a while to dry, so trying to stuff it wet & muddy into the bag was just not a good experience. It could work on very calm open waters for the novice kayaker, but it leaves way too much to be desired.

Excelente kayak, muy buena estabilidad, cómodidad para pescar.

Love it. good quality, good strenght. Set up is about 15 min. My kids love - so I bought 2. I would prefer the 2 seater so that we could be a few extra to enjoy it. The bags and all the extra goodies It comes with are great. Defiantly a great buy

So good for the price. Easy to inflate, super stable, quick to pack away. Highly recommend

Love it! it is very easy to inflate and deflate, super light and maneuverable and folds very easily. Very practical valves and material is resembles tough zodiac boat.
