ARE YOU INTERESTED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT KAYAKING?

WE ARE ACA LEVEL 2 CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS.

Participants should know how to swim or at the very least must be comfortable floating in the water. When someone is not comfortable floating in the water, kayaking is not advisable.

Kayaks can flip over and you’ll become what we call a “swimmer”. If this worries you, kayaking may not be for you.
