Our guided trips and classes are perfect for anyone who is interested in learning how to kayak, improving their skills, exploring new lakes and rivers, or simply meeting other paddlers who share our passion for the water.
We offer classes taught by American Canoe Association (ACA) certified instructors with an emphasis on having fun while staying safe. Our sessions are not in a classroom but are taught under the trees and on the river in your own personal floating workstation (a kayak, of course).
We also guide fun adventure trips on southern waterways. All trips are led by certified guides. Our trips are special. You will be treated like family while you are with us.
Don’t be surprised if you leave with a few new life-long friendships.
No boat? No problem, we have them. All necessary equipment is part of our packages.
There is no age limit in this sport. People are kayaking across the country and around the world from age 4 to 100!
Dustin Miller is a Level 2 ACA certified instructor. In June 2023 he left a 25-year career in civil engineering to follow his dreams and turn KayakTripsAndTraining into a father/son adventure.
