KIDS KAYAK TOUR THROUGH THE KITTY HAWK MARITIME FOREST

Love kayaking but vacationing with little ones? Look no further because Outer Banks Kayak Adventures has the perfect children’s kayak tour for you! On this abbreviated kayak tour through the Kitty Hawk Maritime Forest, early morning sightings of birds overhead or turtles and nutria in the creek are sure to brighten the little ones’ day. This Outer Banks children’s kayak tour lasts about 1 hour and is the perfect length for younger children. This kayak tour is also available to adults that prefer a shorter, 1-hour trip. This tour is only offered during peak season, summer months.

Which Kayak is Right for You and Your Group?

  • We recommend children 12 and under paddle in a tandem (double) kayak with an adult, but it’s not a requirement.
  • If your child is ages 10-12 years old and you’re super confident in their kayaking ability, you can request that your child paddle a single kayak (please do so only if you’re certain your child can paddle the entire trip). Only put a child in a single kayak, If you are confident they can paddle for 1 1/2 – 2 hours by themselves.
  • Unless requested otherwise, all children ages 12 and under will be placed in a tandem (double) kayak with an adult.

What to Bring

  • Plenty of water and a snack if you’d like
  • Sunscreen, sunglasses, and/or a hat
  • A towel for after the tour (you’ll want to leave it in your car)
  • Shoes and clothing you don’t mind getting wet
  • You may also want to consider insect repellent, a rain jacket if it might rain, and a dry bag
