Review of Urban Kayaks

I will start by saying prior to embarking on this tour that I was very much afraid of getting into a kayak. I decided the 2hour tour sounded like a lot of fun and I love history.

I sat in on the instructional lecture where they explain what parts of the river are busy, what to look out for and expect while we are out there. We then went into a paddling demonstration and all of the paddle strokes were explained.

We lined up and getting in the Kayak is very easy, then you slide into the water and you re off! I found that Chris s direction was very clear and we even chatted while we were on the water between announcements.

What I found was as long as you are able to stay balanced and keep your core straight you will be fine!

The history portion of the tour was very informative and had some humor thrown in also. I would highly recommend this 2hour tour if you are interested in seeing the architectural sights from a new angle and learning more about the history of the city.
