Guided Group Rentals
Group Paddling Instruction & Guiding
Whether your group has never paddled before or you’re intermediate kayakers looking to build ocean skills, we can arrange custom instruction and guiding to match. Our guides can simply accompany you on the water, share history and wildlife of the area, facilitate games, or actively work with your group on paddling technique — whatever fits your outing best.
