Our trips are all multi-day adventure tours that include kayaking, great food, lodging and other activities.

Our goal is to get you off the beaten path and visit less known areas on our adventure tours.  They are all designed to avoid crowds and times of peak use as well as to give back to the locals where we travel. Our kayaking tours all include visits to local sites, local cuisine, comfortable lodging and local guides.  Some trips also include canoeing, hiking, fishing, whitewater rafting, wildlife viewing, city tours and biking.
​*Custom dates are available for most trips.  Just ask!
