Intex 68307EP Explorer K2 Inflatable Kayak Set: Includes Deluxe 86in Aluminum Oars and High-Output Pump – SuperStrong PVC – Adjustable Seats with Backrest – 400lb Weight Capacity

Great product. I purchased toward the end of summer for $94. So the the price does fluctuate with the season. Took me about 20min in set up the 1st time. About 15min for subsequent attempts. I've taken it out 3-4 times in the last 2 months. Collapses down small enough to fit in the trunk of a small car. The paddles work, but I felt were on the small side for me. This kayak is somewhat wide also. I ended up getting a 96inch paddle but i'm 5'10''. My 5 yr old daughter does ok with it. When I stretch out my legs, I have to tuck my feet to the sides of the front seat. The skin of the boat is reasonably strong. You'd have to scrape against some jagged metal or be hit head on by a hard pointy branch for this to puncture. For the boating itself, this craft is ok. It doesn't seem as smooth or can go as fast as a hard plastic boat. But that's fine considering it's $100-200 less. I even took it through some mild rapids (still choppy enough to splash me good) and it held up fine. The fin/skeg works fine and is easy to install but requires decent hand strength to remove (a good thing). It basically clicks in place and you have to push a tab down to remove it. I drilled a hole and put a fishing line through it in case the skeg falls off as suggested by others, but this is unnecessary. I even started heading away from shore once and the skeg, and only the skeg, hit an underwater boulder. I was going about 3mph when it hit and came to a dead stop, all 200+ lbs of the boat and people. The skeg edge was a little scratched but in place at the end. Maybe Intex updated the skeg after it 1st came out. I'm going to remove the fishing line before the next trip because it is unnecessary and gets seaweed,etc caught in it creating more drag. If you were to give me the choice (price not an issue) b/w a hard plastic boat and this, I'd pick the hard boat. That said, I'm very happy with this very inexpensive and easy to transport kayak.

My wife and I each have 17.5' Perception sea kayaks. We paddle a fair amount and they are great. But if you're not planning for strictly a paddle trip, big boats are kind of annoying to drive around with. Enter inflatables. We recently did a two week Baja trip and wanted the ability to paddle without the hassle of two large sea kayaks on the roof while driving dirt roads for hundreds of miles. Reading other reviews (and contrasting with the price) we figured this was worth a shot. So...this boat is a winner. We took it out several times on the Sea of Cortez. It handles swells surprisingly well, but don't expect to take on big rollers. It's a very stable boat; you can stand in it in flat water conditions. Pretty great for fishing, cruising, and day paddles. Overall, our experience was pretty great; I'm happy with the purchase. Note that it's a day cruiser, NOT a sea kayak...it has some drag, but it will get you there. The skeg stay attached reasonably well and is very needed if windy or in a current. As other reviewers suggested, a leash is probably a good idea for it. It easily has room for two people and day-paddling stuff (we're 5'11" and 5'6" and in good shape, typically bringing snacks, water, sun screen, camera/phone, hiking bags, bilge pump, boat pump, and some warm clothes just in case). You could probably do two people and an overnight's worth of stuff, but it will be pretty tightly packed. The paddles that come with it are adequate, but if you have quality paddles, bring them instead. Follow the inflation order on the boat (the ports are numbered 1, 2, 3, etc). The pump that comes with it makes short work of the inflating process. As other reviewers have mentioned, the floor valve should be Boston valve, like the two hulls are, but it's not. Whatever, not that big of a deal. Now the thing I didn't see mentioned a lot was packing it down and storage/transport. It'll pack down to about 30"x12"x18" (ish - and it's soft/flexible in a bag so those are only rough dimensions). Bring a rag to wipe it down with when you're done (sounds obvious, but I forgot). I found the easiest way to pack it up is to deflate in reverse order of the fill, then kinda flip the two large hull bladders to the other side of the floor. So kinda make it go inside-out, as if you wanted to make the bottom of the boat into the floor of the boat. This generally allows you to get all the air out and keep the deflate ports accessible. You can also then fold the boat (hotdog style) and start rolling it up. It'll pack down nice and small. Once packed down, the bag is a bit flimsy. I wouldn't try to hump it too far; seems like the bag is better to just store all the junk in the back of your vehicle. If you plant to hike the boat in, get a decent bag for it.

This inflatable kayak is sturdy and easy to move! Inflation is fast and quick. It easily held my husband and I with no problem. It wasn’t tippy or anything. My only complaint is the paddles were a bit short… especially for my husband! I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a simple, easy to use, kayak.

Looove it! I can’t say enough good things. It was so easy to inflate and put away. I will definitely be taking this to all my water adventures. It fit me and my mom comfortably. Both about 5’2 and we were comfortable. I truly think the value was something you can’t beat. The bag that came with, it is plenty of room to restore it. So far, very impressed. Biased to the other people I do prefer to use my own electric pump which definitely makes it easier and a lot faster. I also use that same pump to deflate. But even without it, deflates pretty fast.

Great kayak and excellent for the price. Works well and is comfortable enough, although clearly not as maneuverable and has a tendency to drift as compared to a traditional solid kayak. Comfortably fits 2 people, but no more. A fantastic purchase that I have gotten a lot of use from. So far the plastic has been durable and there have been no leaks. Assembly/disassembly isn’t too difficult. It is also nice that the unit included the paddles and the hand pump. All works as intended.

My bestie and I each ordered these kayaks last spring. We spent the summer on the lake day after day kayaking around. I love the convenience of being able to inflate and deflate quickly. We have electric pumps, but the hand pump is honestly quicker and easier. The kayaks aren't super heavy, we were easily able to carry the kayak in it's carrying bag and then tossed our paddles and life jackets in the back of her SUV. In it's bag, I am able to fit it in the trunk of my small 4 door subcompact. At the end of a day on the lake, we were able to each grab an end and pack the kayaks onto shore. There are quick-release valves to remove the air so we pulled the valve and then slowly folded and layed on the kayak to squeeze out as much air as possible. We hung the kayaks up at the end of the season to make sure they were 100% dry and then just folded them back up and put in their bag for next summer! The only negative I can think of is that The seats move around a lot when buckled in. I am a heavy woman (5'6" 230 lbs) and just need more back support while I'm out on the water all day. I had a large cooler and put my back up to that and it helped, but I will definitely be on the lookout for a new option before next summer. These kayaks both came quickly and were priced well. She bought hers on Prime day for about 112.00, and I purchased mine a few weeks later not on sale for right under 150.00. Great deal, and quality product. The heavy duty PVC is very sturdy and I had no qualms pulling the kayak up on the cement boat ramp to dry out. Great product and will likely purchase again for my sister and mother!

I admit I was nervous to use this at first, but at such a low price I thought if I could get one use before it pops it will be equal to renting a canoe for the day. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The durability is exceedingly better than I expected, which I accidently put the test my third time on the water. The lake I was on has broken tree limbs sticking out all over the banks. Heading back to the boat ramp paddling at a good clip I managed to go straight on top of a broken branch sticking about a foot and a half out of the water which was hidden by the front of the kayak as I was in the boat alone. It hit it dead center, it lifted the kayak out of the water and stopped me with the branch ending up right underneath my seat. I immediately pictured the pop, and started to come up with a plan since I wasn't close to the boat ramp and it was getting dark with a water temp below 60. But that never happened. No pop, no leak, but I was stuck. I paddled backward and with some effort managed to get off the branch. Paddled back to the ramp, flipped the kayak over, and found that there was not even a scratch! I am impressed. I have used the boat 4-5 times, not one issue so far. I view that as a great value even if it popped on the next trip. I feel confident enough to take this kayak on the nearby river for my yearly 10-16 mile trip. I also use this for fishing, and while I am careful of hooks, I am not nervous anymore. The skeg that is included is sturdy and stays in place even if you hit bottom. Keeps the kayak on track fairly decent. With one person the seat can be placed roughly in the middle with ample space in front and behind for legs and gear. With two people, leg room is a little less but still not bad. The back tests are supported by a buckle strap that attaches to the boat and it works well. I am just as comfortable as any other kayak. The portability means I can take this boat at any time in any car to any place I want. You won't regret this purchase

Bought it for lake/river adventure in Adirondack, upstate NY based on previous reviews, design and price (in total payed $ 200). Inflated using supplied pump paying precautions not to over-pump and assembled in around 10 minutes: the entire process was very quick and easy. My original plan was to use it for moving around with camping gear and supply for 1-2 nights. After inflating it for the first time I realized that with both of us on board there were no space left for the camping gear. So we stayed camping on that particular lake and tried the boat there. As previous reviewers pointed out, tracking with the fin attached was not bad, and we paddled across the lake (a couple of miles altogether) without any difficulty. (The were some cross wind and waves, but the boat handled it well). Deflating it removing lock valves was very quick. The next day we decided to try in on a river course, planning paddling 3-4 hours one way and than turn around. En route we collided with underwater rock, but the bottom material took it well. After paddling for a while we decided to rest and take some pictures, so we touched land in the middle of very wide semi lake on big rock standing out the water. It was sunny day with occasional clouds, around 70 degrees. I put the boat on the rock since there were no other place. After 10-15 minutes of enjoying the scenery we heard the very loud bang. Shocked, we turn around and watched in horror that entire starboard was gone! At first we couldn't find the breach, but than realized it was under the front canopy, 1 feet long, along the seam. No way we could repair it with supplied repair kit. Being stranded in the middle of nowhere was not a good feeling, but gradually we decided to try to balance the boat with deflated starboard ...and it worked! (the board itself was still attached to the seats, which prevented it from collapsing). Being very careful, we could manage safely to the starting point. Later I decided to fix the breach temporarily with duct tape hoping not to ruin my fishing plans, but no matter how I tried, the air leaked through the point where final edge of the tape touched the seam.. Now I am thinking about repairing it, but all tutorials on the net are mostly related to fixing holes and not long breaches across the seam. Is it worse fixing it in terms of reliability? Any advice will be appreciated! P.S. While having no complaint about general quality of the product, it is still difficult to believe that it is EXTREMELY vulnerable to the heat. Please be aware of that.

Très bonne stabilité bonne balade dans les gorges du Verdon

The kayak is really good. Stable in sea and easy to fill up also. The seats aren't great, but overall good value for money.

Tengo un año con el Kayak, lo he utilizado alrededor de 30 veces en el mar. es un excelente producto, la bomba que trae a pesar de ser manual es muy buena, el inflado es rápido ya que trae sistema doble. las instrucciones son fáciles ya que trae números en donde hay que inflar primero. Para transportar trae una bolsa transportadora, el peso es soportable para cargarlo una persona y aparte una hielera pequeña, que como es para 2 personas pues sin problema en cuanto al peso. andando en mar es muy estable a pesar de las olas. Lo recomiendo y pienso comprar otro igual para los invitados. en cuanto a la capacidad soporta 2 adultos y 2 niños pequeños aunque muy reducido el espacio, para 2 adultos el espacio es excelente. La calidad de los remos es muy bueno y tienen excelente resistencia y poco peso. lo que yo pague por el fue un súper precio por la calidad del producto(1,700.00), pero pagaría mas por él, debido a lo que ofrece (3,000.00). Después de un año de uso, no hay queja alguna.

軽量で持ち運びも楽でパドルも2本付で2人で楽しめます、フットポンプも思ったより早く注入出来ます、難点は下敷きのエアーマットのエアー抜きに多少不便を感じます。

I was a bit skeptical about an inflatable kayak at first, but this set completely changed my mind. It’s incredibly sturdy once inflated and looks fantastic on the water. What I love most is how user-friendly it is—even as a woman, I found it very easy to set up and carry on my own. It’s perfect for making fun summer memories with friends or family.
