With skills and stamina we can get beyond where most outfitters and casual tourists go. The Journey (formerly “Builder”) is for paddlers with strong personal paddling skills and a willing group attitude. The rewards for going further are many, including a rugged exposure that answers that wild call inside! Find more remote beaches. Take learning to the next level. Join us for a Journey if you’re ready for that satisfied buzz of coming in at the end of a day having expanded your comfort zone. Even though we get out and do some real paddling, there is still plenty of time for snorkeling, hiking, relaxing, and personal interests.
December through February are typically windier months. Expect the Journey challenge to come in the form of rougher conditions. During the calmer months of October, November, March, April, and May, the challenge may come in the form of longer days.

Intermediate kayaking experience is required on Journeys. This includes a calm capsize, wet exit (flip over and get out), and assisted deep water re-entry. You will need stamina to paddle strongly for 2 hours at time, and up to 5 hours in a day. Experience paddling in whitecaps is essential. Journeys are ideal for building intermediate skills. Please be sure you are ready for this level of learning. Sea Kayak Explore and Sea Paddler Trainings are perfect for developing the foundation to enjoy a Journey.
The level of physical effort on a Journey can be challenging. Have good fitness for full-day hike in hilly terrain.
Our Journeys are self-supported camping trips in single kayaks (except Mag Bay which has motor support). Doubles are available to pairs of paddlers by request.
