Kayak Adventure, LLC
Sea kayak lessons, tours & rentals year-round on Long Island Sound. Based in Norwalk, Connecticut.  Call 203 852-7294 or e-mail.

At Kayak Adventure our instruction & guiding is inspired by a lifetime of boating experience on Long Island Sound. We take pride in our outstanding small group instruction and beginners' tours for novice sea kayakers. For intermediate paddlers, we provide coastal tours, and focus on building skills: stroke refinement, rescue technique, and handling wind & waves. Advanced paddlers continue skill development through challenging day trips and special clinics. Click on the colorful links in the text below for detailed information.

Kayak Lessons & Guided Trips has our 2008 calendar of activities, with descriptions of classes and tours, and a link to our fee schedule. It is updated several times a week.

Our instructor Michele is ACA certified at Coastal Kayak Level 3 (1998, 2002, 2006), and has taught kayaking year-round for eight years. Read about her background, what clients & media say, and the paddlers who've inspired her.

We rent kayaks for our trips and lessons, and to qualified paddlers. About Our Rental Kayaks explains our rental policy and lists our boats, each with its own page. Our sit-inside kayaks include Current Designs, Eddyline, Impex, Necky, Valley and Wilderness Systems brands. We use Heritage sea-going sit-on-tops.

You'll find lots of information on this site to help you enjoy kayaking. What to Wear & Bring advises how to outfit yourself for kayaking in all seasons. We post the current water temperature in Norwalk Harbor and the western end of L.I. Sound, and have links to NOAA weather, Long Island Sound sea temperature, Bridgeport tides, and sunset/moon rise information.

Design and Safety Features of Our Kayaks & Gear gives detailed tips on what to look for when selecting a kayak and paddle. If you don't see what you're looking for, contact us. We're happy to answer your sea kayaking questions. We have some used kayaks and paddles for sale.
