Fun Is a Downunder Specialty

from Kayak Yoga to Sunset Paddling to SUP Parties and Races

The great part of kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding is that they combine fitness with fun.  Most of our clients tell us they have such a good time out on the water, they aren’t even aware of the physical benefits until afterward.  Whatever you’re doing Downunder, you’re having fun!

Full Moon Paddling

7:30-9:30pm.   Outfitted with night paddling lights, and experienced guides, we leave at twilight and paddle into the setting sun for a surreal experience as the wildlife bunker down for the night and the moon rises.  $55 adults.  Not recommended for children. Last for season October 11th 6:30-8:30pm Westport only.

Be Still and Breathe: A Meditative Outing

Starting up again September 11th.  Enjoy a paddle to just chill out, relax, slow down, and enjoy the experience - the water, the breeze, and the birds.  Led by Steven Freedman, avid kayaker and meditation instructor. A guided visualization will be offered.  No experience necessary. $50pp inc rentals

• 10/2 Westport 10-12pm

Four guided kayaking and meditation tours where the emphasis is on slowing down, becoming one with the water and environment and reconnecting with what really matters.  Steve Freedman, avid kayaker and meditation instructor, will guide paddlers to a quiet area where he will lead a guided meditation for those interested.  Inspired by Natural Awakenings Magazine, this program is part of their community celebration.
