About

This thorough 1.5 hour beginner , small group, kayak class begins in a protected embayment on the Hoboken side of the Hudson River with stunning views of Manhattan as the backdrop. An ACA-certified guide will provide an overview of kayaking equipment, teach basic skills on the dock and then the group will move onto the water using sit-on-top kayaks. As the class progresses, the instructor may lead the group into other protected areas for further skills practice. If the skills of the group and the tides/currents are acceptable, the guide may lead the group out onto the river for a short tour.

This small group lesson follows the American Canoe Association curriculum and industry standards for risk management. The “challenge by choice” model will be used to ensure comfort while allowing each person to participate at his or her own level and develop skills at his or her own speed. No prior experience is necessary to join in on the fun of kayaking! Many students go on to take our Kayak ABC series and train up for our longer tours. Please note: This class is designed for adults over 18. Teens 13- 17 may be able to join when accompanied by a parent. Advance approval is required.

During this kayak course you can expect incredible views of:

• The Empire State Building -The NY Skyline
