Do you want to try kayaking, but are wary of a two hour tour? Join us for a one hour kayaking lesson and practice session on a quiet pond. After the lesson, go as fast and far as you like, or take it slow and stay near the launch area. In either case, we will be close by to help you out.
The basic minimum requirement is to be able to get out of a sit inside kayak. We will stabilize it for you as you enter and exit. Not sure if this is right for you? Please reach out. We are happy to answer any questions you might have.
