With all of our Tours and Rentals, we offer free lessons. We also provide additional equipment designed for your convenience, comfort and to protect you and your personal property from the water, such as spray gear and dry bags. We pride ourselves with going beyond the basics (kayak, paddles & life preservers PFD).

All of our Guides are capable of explaining the local history, the flora and fauna for tours and camping, and will be able to select the proper equipment necessary for each person. They are CPR certified and trained in the Rock Kayak Co. Safety program.
