We challenge the kayaker with an extended paddle through protected beauty of the wildlife refuge and, weather permitting, try open water paddling in Barnegat Bay.  In the journey,  the adventure potential of sea kayaking touring is experienced.  Each paddler recieves personal attention with encouragment and direction with proper paddling techniques and boat handling.
