| The fee for the three hour "Introduction to Coastal Sea
Kayak Touring" is $45 per guest. Even with the rising financial cost in providing our kayak instruction and providing only quality equipment, NJ Kayak has held to the scout group discount fee for three years. It is our joy to introduce all visitors to the beauty and the diversity of Barnegat Bay, the surrounding Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge and to New Jersey's coastal wetlands. From this experience it is our hope to instill a desire to protect all waterways and to make kayaking a healthy lifelong sport. "Adventure In Your Own Back Yard" Equipment included for kayak instruction: Professional Sea Kayak with fore & aft bulkheads with rudder Fitted PFD (lifejacket) Quality fiberglass shaft paddle |
