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.

activities, with descriptions of classes and tours, and a link to our fee schedule.
It is updated several times a week.

Level 3 (1998, 2002, 2006), and has taught kayaking year-round for eight years.

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

rise information.
