CUSTOM TRIPS 
Basic kayaking experience is required on Explore-level trips. 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.
A moderate level of physical fitness is required for Explore level trips, adequate for an full-day hike in flat terrain.
Our Explore trips are self-supported camping trips in single kayaks with skegs (not foot-operated rudders). If you would prefer to paddle a double with your partner, just let us know!
