Paddler reviews

This was a fantastic kayak experience! Our entire family paddled the area around Kiptopeke State Park on the Virginia Eastern Shore. Being able to get right up next to the historic concrete ships and then paddle freely along the shore was incredible.

Barry with Casual Kayakers had us up-and-running with all required safety gear and instruction. The boats and paddles were in excellent condition. The price was right and everything was very professional!

We plan on using this company again when we head up from Georgia on our next vacation to Cape Charles. Thank you Casual Kayakers for a great time. See you this summer!

We have gone on two kayaking trips with them. One in Jamestown where we were able to kayak to see the historic Jamestown boats and another in Charlottesville where we were able to take a peaceful kayak on a local lake.

They provide all of the gear you need including the kayaks, paddles, and life jackets (PFDs). Everything was excellent quality and easy to use. There was an impressive amount of gear!

Barry was able to provide helpful instruction and guidance the entire time. He made us feel prepare and confident. We had a great time and would definitely use them again! 10/10 recommend.

We had such a wonderful experience with Casual Kayakers! Everything (kayaks, PFDs, etc) was provided for us, which made the trip stress-free and enjoyable. Barry was an extremely professional and knowledgeable guide as he led us on our adventure. I HIGHLY recommend Casual Kayakers and will be returning for another trip soon!

I went kayaking with four of my friends last summer (Belle Isle State Park – Lancaster) and I was a truly delightful experience. Barry was a very nice and accommodating guide. It was my first time kayaking and he made sure I had a good handle on everything as we went along. The diagram he sent to let us pick the boats was clear. The location was beautiful. 10/10 would do again of given a chance

Casual Kayakers Blog - Best Clothes for Kayaking

The Best Clothes for Kayaking

I often get asked what should I wear kayaking. Clothing for kayaking has similar requirements to other outdoor activities like hiking: You’re looking for versatility, durability and comfort while you’re on the move. You’re also looking for protection for sunny and wet conditions (really wet conditions).

How to Safely Transport Kayaks

While Casual Kayakers does all of this for you on our trips (unless you bring your own water craft). If you chose to get your own kayak or SUP one very important consideration is getting it/them to and from the water. On the top of the roof or on a trailer – racks, straps, and lines – we discuss them all here.

Casual Kayakers Blog - Preparing Children For Kayaking

Preparing Children for Kayaking

Kayaking is a wonderful activity for for youth and children. Kids as young as 5 can often handle a kayak or SUP on their own. With a kayak or SUP for their age, kids can learn to maneuver a person-propelled watercraft in just a few minutes. It is amazingly easy for them to figure it out.
