Kayak Instruction Vacations with Adirondack Exposure
These trips have been designed for people who want to learn more about coastal kayaking and open water kayaking. These "learning vacations" allow you to learn about coastal and open water kayaking in depth, they last for one week, and they allow for a real hands-on experience in warmer waters! Our Kayak Instruction Vacations are typically spent with instruction in the mornings, and then the afternoons are spent practicing what you've just learned as we paddle and explore the area.
