Tidal Journeys

Are you looking to improve your kayak skills before getting out kayaking this summer?

Do you know how to kayak safely and efficiently to ensure you can enjoy this fantastic water sport all summer long?

Our Kayak Skills Courses begin with the basics on land; ensuring each participant understands the equipment needed, planning for paddling, risk management, and weather. After that we hit the water we'll focus on our kayaking skills: boat handling, launching, landing, and balancing.

A big emphasis of this course is learning how to paddle with efficiency to maximize the energy we put into our strokes and minimize risk of injury.

Once comfortable in the kayak we will learn how to safely exit our kayaks in the event of a capsize, and multiple ways to re-enter our kayaks after a capsize.

Be prepared to have a lot of FUN learning with others in our group!

The small instructor to student ratio (1:5) ensures a safe and encouraging environment where you will get plenty of positive feedback and individual coaching. Our aim is for you to leave feeling confident with the knowledge and skills to get out paddling!

All of the kayaks and paddling gear will be provided for you. And if you have any questions at all please reach out to us. We love talking about kayaking!

Let's get out there and have some fun!
