Our Guides:
Paddle Sports employs and trains friendly outdoor professionals that specialize in leading and teaching groups of kayakers with little or no experience.

Kids:
We can accomodate all ages over 8 years old. Children under 12 will be in kayaks with an adult (parent/guardian). Keep in mind the younger the child is, the more work you as a parent/guardian will have to do. We recomend waiting until the child is 12 before taking them on a kayaking trip to the islands.

The World's Largest Sea Cave

This isn't like the World's largest hamburger or ball of wax, this is  the largest Sea Cave in the world. The opening is large enough to drive a 70 foot boat into it and the top of the cave is a good 60 feet from the surface of the water. We will paddle into this cave where you will be 1/4 mile deep in the darkness with your fellow paddlers and guides. Surrounding Painted Cave are a number of smaller caves that we will explore.

Wetsuits, life jackets, paddle jackets, and helmets are provided. We use Malibu II XL tandem kayaks and Ocean Kayak Scramber 11 single kayaks. You can bring your own kayak and save $15. We do not allow closed-deck kayaks on this trip or any other sea cave trip. You will need to bring lunch and this can be left on the ferry while we kayak.

Space is limited. We only run this trip twice a year for the public. What a great trip though!
