Challenges Facing the Industry
The 3 challenges of kayaking, and how TuriTop can help
Limited supplies, changing sea conditions, and tourists making last-minute bookings from the boardwalk. Three areas where Excel falls short.
Sell only what you can throw into the water
Single kayaks, double kayaks, short paddles, long paddles, life jackets by size, children’s wetsuits. Each outing depends on the actual equipment available. A single Excel spreadsheet isn’t enough: there are double bookings, outings with more spots sold than operational kayaks, and customers who arrive at the dock without enough equipment for everyone.
How TuriTop Approaches It
- Quotas by departure, schedule, and route with separate caps
- Limited resources (kayaks, paddles, life jackets by size) allocated based on actual bookings
- Weight and age restrictions block checkouts that disrupt operations
Cancel due to rough seas without disrupting the morning
Strong swells, swell, orange advisory, low tide exposing rocks along the cave route. The decision to go out or not is yours to make when you open the harbor window, but manually notifying 15 people with Saturday bookings means wasting half the morning on the phone each time.
How TuriTop Approaches It
- Cancel the departure's bookings from the panel: each customer gets their own email
- Convert affected bookings into redeemable vouchers with configurable validity
- The customer reschedules via email, without having to call you
The customer makes a booking from the beach at 11:30
Kayaking is a destination-based business: tourists who are already on vacation and looking for an afternoon activity. They book from their phones, expect immediate confirmation, and compare three options while strolling along the promenade. If your website doesn’t accept their booking right away, they’ll move on to the next one.
How TuriTop Approaches It
- 24/7 online bookings with availability updated in real time
- Online payment in advance, partial down payment, or payment upon delivery
- Automatic confirmation with a meeting point, map, and a list of what to bring

Frequently Asked Questions
What kayaking companies ask us
How do you ensure that you don't sell more kayaks than you have in stock?
Each product is configured with its actual capacity. You can link the product to inventory availability: if your warehouse has 8 operational kayaks and 6 spots have already been sold, TuriTop prevents more than 8 from being sold—even if the guide could accommodate more people. You only sell what you can actually put in the water.
Can I have self-guided tours and guided tours on the same panel?
Yes. Each type is set up as a separate product: open-hour rentals (with their own rate in €/hour and kayak inventory) and guided tours (with a set time, assigned guide, and route). Both share the same kayak inventory, but each has its own rules regarding price, duration, and capacity.
What happens if I cancel a trip due to rough seas or wind?
You cancel that departure's bookings from the panel and each customer gets their email from your own domain. Affected bookings are converted into gift certificates redeemable (validity is configurable), with a code that the customer uses to reschedule via email. The day’s revenue is not lost; it is deferred to a safe date.
How are family bookings with children and a minimum age requirement handled?
You set the minimum age for each route (10 years for the sea cave route, 6 years for the family coastal route, etc.). The checkout system verifies this by asking for the participant’s date of birth. You can also automatically set prices by age group (adult, junior, child) and life jacket size.
Can you require payment in advance to reduce the number of no-shows?
Yes. Each product is configured with its own payment policy: full payment online, a deposit (for example, 30% upon booking and the remainder at the dock), or 100% payment at the dock. You can have short trips with no required payment and 4-hour trips with rented equipment that do require payment. The goal is to reduce the number of reserved spots that don’t generate actual revenue.
How do I connect with GetYourGuide, Viator, Civitatis, or the hotels and agencies your customers book through?
TuriTop is a Channel Manager: it connects to more than 70 channels (international OTAs and local agencies), synchronizing availability in real time. You can sell on your website and on OTAs at the same time without phantom inventory. You can activate each channel on a per-product basis and set the commission.
