Introduction to Kayaking
About This Experience
Touring kayaks are your ticket to adventure, from exploring quiet lakes and winding rivers to discovering wild coastlines. Whether you’re brand new to kayaking or dreaming of longer adventures on the water, this hands-on course will help you build the skills and confidence to explore farther.
Our patient, supportive instructors make learning fun and approachable, no experience necessary! You’ll learn efficient paddling techniques, master strokes to steer your kayak in any direction, and practice bracing to help keep you upright. You’ll even get to practice capsizing and getting back into your kayak in a supportive environment, so you can learn what to do if things don’t go as planned and feel more confident out on the water.
We’ll also cover the essentials of trip planning, reading wind and weather conditions, and recognizing on-water hazards. By the end of the course, you’ll have new skills, a better understanding of kayak safety, and the confidence to start planning your next paddling adventure!
