Tours & Trips
Paddle around New Jersey's bays, rivers and lakes in these kayaking tours. Bring your own day-touring or sea kayak or use one of our decked kayaks (generally less suitable for sit-on-top kayaks).
TOUR RATINGS:
- Easy - No experience is necessary. We'll start off at the launch site with a brief lesson and on the water, the agenda is determined by the group's overall ability. These tours are great for photographers, bird-watchers and, generally, anyone who wants to get outside and enjoy nature!
- Intermediate - Some paddling experience is preferred. These tours can present us with more difficult water and weather conditions such as wind, waves and tidal currents.
- Challenging - We require the participant to have previous paddling instruction and experience, preferably having taken our Basic Strokes and Rescues and our Strokes and Maneuvers Refinement classes. These tours will test your endurance as well as your paddling technique on more open bodies of water and rougher conditions.
2012 locations, dates and times will be announced in early 2012 (Price is listed as equipment included/discounted fee with your own equipment).
NOTE for tours: Cancellations with at least 7 days advance notice will be rescheduled or refunded. 50% refund for 3 to 7 days cancellation notice and no refunds if you fail to show up for the tour. Tours go out rain or shine (except in cases of extreme weather). If we must cancel a tour or class, we will let you know as early as possible and offer to reschedule the session or give a refund.
