Essential Details

DIFFICULTY

This trip is easy to moderate.

This kayak trip takes place on calm waters in a protected bay. Be ready to kayak anywhere from 8 to 15 miles a day, with breaks and a long lunch as well. During that time your guide may provide a shelter, hot beverages, and may lead the group on a beach walk. Be ready for various weather conditions as this trip is in the outdoors and all day.

WHAT TO BRING

It best to dress warm and in layers so you can add or take away as needed. Be ready for different weather conditions and avoid cotton. It’s okay to bring extra items, there’s plenty of storage inside the boats.  Below is a list of important items to bring on this tour.

  • A water bottle
  • Medical necessities
  • Synthetic/wool layers
  • Rain Gear
  • A water-resistant or proof shoe is ideal. But tennis shoes work okay. We pull and launch your kayaks from shore so you should not be stepping into any water.
  • Depending on the weather consider bringing gloves, beanie, sun hat, extra socks, sunglasses, sunscreen.

We provide breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the day. All carefully prepared in our own cafe.
