2 Hour Private Kayak Lesson

duration

2 hrs

Improve your paddling skills with one of our qualified instructors! While all of our guided tours include some paddling instruction, and are very appropriate for beginners, our lessons are offered for those paddlers who want to work on a specific set of paddling skills (ie. self rescue, partner rescue, edging, bracing, efficient forward strokes). If you are looking to move beyond the basics that we teach during our tours, we can book a lesson as a one-on-one experience with your instructor. If you have a small group of people who are all at a similar skill level, we can book this experience with more than one student.
