SEA KAYAKING IN THE 1000 ISLANDS

"Our goal is to introduce participants to sea kayaking by providing an exciting, challenging, and educational experience in one of the most beautiful waterways in the world"

Sea kayaking is fun and easy to learn! Escape from the stress of modern day life, relax, and enjoy the view while participating in one of the fastest growing recreational sports. We offer rentals, tours, and an island camping escort service. Rates for the current season are available.

Please don't confuse the sport of sea kayaking with river kayaking. Sea kayaks are much more stable than river kayaks or canoes. In fact, sea kayaks are not only stable but comfortable, very seaworthy and, due to their shallow draft and low profile, ideal for exploring coastlines.

Rentals

Kayak rentals include skirt, paddle and PFD (life jacket). We recommend that inexperienced kayakers take a half day tour which includes kayak & safety instructions before renting kayaks to tour on their own. Only experienced kayakers will be permitted to go solo, novices must kayak in pairs or groups. Full Day rentals for individuals who will be camping on an island is based on 24 hours.

Tours

On each tour you will travel along the St. Lawrence, learning about the natural history of the area.  We'll show you the basics at the start of each trip, including basic paddling strokes and safety tips. We won't leave shore until everyone is comfortable in their kayak. We paddle at a pace that everyone can maintain, taking breaks for island exploration, photo opportunities, and snacks. Discover the natural beauty of 1000 Islands by exploring  hidden coves, abundant wildlife, and cottages along the shoreline.
