Whitewater kayaking is an excellent way to challenge yourself, get fit, and see beautiful places accessible only by kayak. With whitewater kayaking you can take things as far as you want to go or as relaxed as you like. Whether you want to learn to kayak off of waterfalls and run class IV whitewater or if you want to be proficient enough to run class II and III rapids, we can get you on the right track.
We offer lessons and trips.
