I have been kayaking on the ocean. We used two person kayaks and we also had a guide. It was relatively easy to hear where the shoreline was. I think a river would be easier in some ways because of the current, unless there are rock formations to avoid. If you are going on a lake, I think you could navigate independently, otherwise I'd see about the two seat kayaks. It was a lot of fun!
Best of luck!
