Has anyone used a kayak to access areas you cannot get to on foot? At our local wetlands there are lots of islands and I'd love to use a little boat to get in there and just drift and take shots much closer than you can get on the shore.

What type is best? I have seen all different types on the web since I thought of the idea - fishing kayaks, remote area kayaks, sea kayaks, even inflatable kayaks! Is there room to carry equipment? I'm sure it would be a stable enough platform because the spot I have in mind is sheltered and is a dammed part of a creek.

Any advise gratefully received. Its just an idea I'm kicking round at the moment but I'm sure it would work.
