Kayaking for Beginners

If you'd like to try kayaking, come on out! No prior experience necessary. Join our instructors from Wayne Adventures and Manatee County Natural Resources for a 3-hour class, during which we will learn the basics of kayaking while we explore the marshes and mangroves of Robinson Preserve. This will be a slow-paced paddle intended to give you time to get used to kayaking while exploring the Preserve.

This program is suitable for adults. Participants should bring a water bottle and wear clothing appropriate for the weather. We recommend sun protection, bug spray, and closed-toed shoes; no flip-flops. Participants must wear a life jacket. Kayaks and gear are available to borrow.
