Kayaking

Our experienced kayak guides select paddling sites for their protected waters, wildlife, and scenery. This is often near our scheduled landing or excursion site for that day, but we make every effort to create enough distance that you get a truly immersive experience. A typical outing can last anywhere from 1-3 hours. Immersive and Discover groups always paddle in different areas.
