Canoe & Kayaking Courses
Vermont Adventure Tours offers flat water and white water kayaking and canoeing
courses.  With our American Canoe Association accredited guides, we can easily
offer trips from beginner to advanced levels.  So whether you're looking to learn the
stern from the bough of the boat on a leisurely paddle, or you're looking for a day
out to shred the gnar on some killer holes and drops, we've got the trips for you!
Flat Water Canoe and Kayak Trips:

Central Vermont has many great areas to tour by canoe
or kayak. Looking for a scenic paddle or a view from a
different perspective? Kayaks and Canoes are prefect
vehicles to spot wildlife or have an awesome family
afternoon. We provide the transportation, the boats,
life vest, paddles, and everything else to make your day
as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.

We also teach basic flat-water canoe and kayak
paddling skills such as paddling strokes, open water
re-entry, packing boats, and much more!!
White Water Kayak and Canoe Trips:

We run white water kayaking and canoing trips on the White River on class I-III water. We provide
boats, spray skirts (small additional cost for spray skirt), paddles, PFDs, and helmets. Basic paddling
skills are taught in a brief on-river class just prior to putting in. Students will learn paddling stokes,
basic self-rescue, and basic river hydrology. Throughout the trip additional skills can be learned
such as more advanced stokes and information about river features. The length and specific section
of the river that we paddle is determined by the participants experience and the river conditions.

A Word About the Dangers of Adventure Activities:
"There is magic in the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, a magic compounded of distance, adventure, solitude, and peace.  
The way of a canoe is the way of the wilderness and of a freedom almost forgotten.  It is an antidote to insecurity, the open door to
waterways of ages past and a way of life with profound and abiding satisfaction."
