Our adult kayaking classes are open to anyone 18 and older. Each session is conducted by passionate instructors committed to sharing their love of kayaking. The classes are designed to provide you with essential skills for safe trips on the water, beginning with complete beginners in level 1 and progressing to more advanced paddlers in subsequent levels. No previous kayaking experience is necessary for level 1, and a basic level of fitness is all that's required. To join level 2 or higher, you must have completed the previous level or have equivalent skills. If you need assistance in choosing the right level for you, please contact us.

​The Levels

This is the class for absolute beginners. You will learn all the skills needed to paddle a sit on top kayak in calm enclosed  flat water environments

Level 2
