Downunder Kayaking

Bear Naked Granola 

Kelly Flatley and Brendan Synnott, owners of Bear Naked, agree that “this was a great way for our employees to spend time together, enjoy some fresh air and exercise, and be on the water.”  The Bear Naked team paddled to the Fish Islands where they enjoyed lunch and beach games, and cleaned up the shoreline.  Flatley added, “At Bear Naked, we work hard and play hard.  Down Under Kayaking gave us an experience that included both – although it wasn’t really that hard – it was a lot of fun!  The guides were helpful, knowledgeable, and really took care of our team.”

Whether you're looking for something fun for your staff, a team building experience, or some sort of training - we'll create a program to suit - and we take into account the dynamics of the group you're bringing.  Mixing experienced with non experienced, a variety of body types and levels of fitness, is a good thing!  It requires that we all work together.

The 7 'Sea's' of Leadership

A unique program that fosters:

• Competence
• Commitment
• Creativity
• Courage
• Credibility
• Contribution
• Communications
  

Taking people out of their natural environment allows an opportunity for change and growth.  Our challenging yet fun programs build teams and relationships.  Participants work together towards end results.  Build new skills, develop trust, take some risks.  For some, just going kayaking is a risk, for others that's easy, it's standing up on your kayak and trusting your buddy to hold your boat still, or switching from one kayak to another.  Programs are created based on the groups needs and customized on a per person basis during the event.  It is our mantra that everyone have fun - we will not push anyone to do something they're not comfortable with.  Our focus is on empowerment, through a sense  of accomplishment and achievement.
