Location
We guide our 1st time kayakers through shallow, sheltered creeks and marshes where they can relax and enjoy calm waters teeming with wildlife.
Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge Tour
Duration
The duration of your kayaking trip can be tailored to fit your fitness level. We recommend a 2-hour tour for beginner kayakers.
However, we have lots of options and our trips are highly customizable depending on the group's needs and what they want to see and how far they want to go.
Technique
Proper kayak technique, which is demonstrated by our guides before each tour, utilizes the whole body in order to maximize body efficiency in regards to position, rotation, and usage of the body and provides the most safety, recovery, and ergonomics while paddling.
In other words, you don’t have to have the arm strength of a professional weightlifter to propel yourself through the water. You use your entire upper body, not just your arms.
Myth: Getting Stuck in an Overturned Kayak
First of all, it is unlikely that your boat will turn over: we place our beginners in wide, stable kayaks and take them to sheltered waters.
In the event your kayak is overturned, it would be extraordinarily difficult to remain inside it. You are not trapped or enclosed in the kayak; you're just sitting in it. Gravity will take hold, you'll slip out, and your life jacket will float you to the surface.
However, if you still feel uncomfortable with a sit-in kayak, we also offer sit-on-top kayaks.
