Sea Kayaking

 

Sea Kayaking is a great way to get on the water to see remote areas under your own steam.  We have chosen a mixture of destinations to offer you a wide variety of kayaking experiences.  In almost any given month there is some where you can go on a sea kayaking trip which is at the same time appropriate for novice and advanced paddlers.  The emphasis at the various destinations ranges from snorkeling with sea lions and orca or whale watching to hiking and exploring the islands and canyons you'll visit.

 

Following is a brief description of the different trips:

 

Kayaking on Lake Powell offers a hand's on paddling adventure with trips to accommodate both the novice and experienced paddler alike.  Trips range from 15 to 40 miles and last 5-6 days.  The real value of Lake Powell as a touring destination lies in its unusual slick rock side canyons sculpted incised into the Navajo sandstone . Glen Canyon's 94 incomparable side canyons are all accessible to kayaks though many are inaccessible to motor boats.
