Before Paddle Preparation
- We really enjoy kayaking! And we want to share that joy with you. Casual Kayakers offers safe and family-friendly guided kayak and standup paddleboard (SUP) adventures on the waters of Hampton Roads, southeast Virginia, & northeast North Carolina. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced paddler, we’ll meet you at the launch spot with rental gear for a half or full-day trip.
- We create a custom paddle plan for you and your group and guide you through the trip.
- We provide orientation and instruction on the kayaks & SUPs, and provide the Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs, aka life vests), paddles & tour gear to meet your group’s needs and ensure you have a great time on the water.
- There are Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant locations and we have assistive equipment to aid those with limited endurance or mobility.
- Yes, whitewater kayaking/rafting can be exhilarating and kayaking for distance or speed can be great exercise. Our target demographic is in between those extremes. Casual Kayakers are:
- Those who want to see the sights; to take in the natural beauty and share the camaraderie a lake or stream/river with friends or family that can only found when not running a motor constantly.
- Those who want to get their family and/or friends on the water without the stress or risks associated with whitewater or endurance paddling or the costs of motor-boat rental,
- Those who want to get a low-stress taste of kayaking/SUP human-powered water activities without committing to an expensive outing or high-energy experience.
- Those who want to try out multiple kayaks or SUPs and associated gear before purchasing their own or renting elsewhere.
