Share a Kayaking Adventure on Casco Bay with your Family!
The slower pace of this tour is perfect for families with children ages 7 and older. You’ll enjoy some of the same highlights as our other trips, but we’ll add in some kid-focused fun and leave plenty of time for kayak skill-building, wildlife-spotting and breaks along the way.
Please note, all children under age 12 must paddle in a tandem kayak with an adult. Only children 7 years and older may join the tour, due to safety considerations related to the size of our kayaks and other factors.

Clothing: It’s often cooler on the water than on land, so bring a warm layer even if it is a warm day. Sometimes we get slightly wet from seaspray or from water dripping off the paddles. Cotton will not keep you warm if it gets wet, so it’s best to leave the blue jeans and t-shirts at home and wear fleece, nylon, wool or other non-cotton materials. Long sleeves are also the best protection against sunburn, so a light, long sleeved shirt is often best for sun protection.
Footwear: You may need to briefly step in shallow water while getting in and out of your kayak, so you should wear shoes that you don’t mind getting wet. We recommend close-toed shoes to protect from stubbed toes, watershoes or sneakers are good options. During a trip with Portland Paddle you may encounter a variety of ground surfaces, including rocks, mud, and sand, so be prepared!
