Some Common Questions About Ocean Kayaking:
Will I get wet?
There is often a certain amount of "splash and drip" associated with kayaking, but we provide water-repellent outerwear to keep you as dry as possible. Our guides do their best to keep you comfortable, but it is not uncommon for your feet to get wet when we launch and land boats.

What about capsizing the kayak?

Capsizes are extremely rare. All of our trips take place in stable, traditional, two-person sea kayaks (larger and steadier than river kayaks).

Keep in mind, however, if you participate in our skills courses, you will be learning and practicing rescue techniques that require overturning your boat.
