If you are looking for an educational but fun and active outing for your 5th - 12th graders, kayaking is a natural choice. Our guides will provide safety and group management while teaching them about all the marine life that surrounds them.

Our youth group tours have higher standards than any other kayak tour outfitter. We typically provide one guide for every 8-10 students for safety and to ensure full participation by everyone. A Summary of Safety and Certificate of Insurance can be provided upon request. 

We are a Certified Wildlife Stewards kayaking outfitter at both locations (awarded by www.seaottersavvy.org/Sea Otter Savvy)
