First Time Kayakers - Learn to Kayak on the Noyo

Learn the basics with a kayak lesson on the calm waters of the Noyo River Estuary. Each trip is planned with the tides to give you the perfect first kayaking experience. As you learn the basics, we will share with you the wildlife, nature, and history of the Noyo Harbor and Estuary. With over 15 years kayaking and instructing beginners on the Noyo, we know how to make that first kayaking experience magical (warning kayaking can become habit forming)
