Sea Kayak Primer

Live the Freedom!

You can learn a lot about kayaking here, but a Primer is about much more than just paddling. Peek into tide pools for the amazing tiny life. Comb beaches for interesting creatures. Hike inland to discover geological treasures and rewarding views.

In the world’s youngest and richest ocean watch colorful angelfish, graceful triggerfish, neon damsel fish, and camouflaged scorpionfish. Find tiny goby fish hiding between urchin spines.

Recline beneath stars, planets, nebulae, and satellites. In the zero light pollution, the nighttime views are out of this world. Literally!

Form new friendships, deepen lifelong bonds, and tickle your imagination with different perspectives. Return to the “other” reality refreshed, energized, and inspired. Expeditions are about paddling, but more deeply they are about life. Your life! Launch into where you want to be!

Equipment and Prerequisites

Single kayaks with skegs (not foot-operated rudders) are the standard on all our trips. If you would like to paddle a double with your partner, just let us know! We are happy to provide them.

Basic kayaking experience is required on Primers. This includes a calm capsize, wet exit, and assisted re-entry. We can recommend an instructor near you if you’d like to use this trip as a goal and start your kayak training now. We also invite you to arrive a day early and take a Safety Review class with us the day before your trip. This class will cover your prerequisites and build confidence.
