Guided Kayaking Ecotour: Evening Paddle at Great Island Wildlife Area | All Equipment Included

Join us for a 3 hour paddle through the salt and brackish marshes of the Great Island Wildlife Area. Located at the mouth of the Connecticut River, this 588-acre estuary is one of New England’s most ecologically rich habitats. The brackish marsh supports a rich diversity of wildlife, including osprey, sandpipers, yellow legs, and egrets. This rare undeveloped river mouth offers a glimpse of coastal Connecticut as it once was—where freshwater meets salt in a thriving, ever-changing landscape. This longer trip is ideal for people which some prior experience, who feel comfortable in a kayak and can turn left and right.

Kayaks, Paddles, PFDs, and educational materials will be provided. Address will be provided in the confirmation email.

Spots are limited. Register soon for early bird pricing. See our website if you are interested in beginner tours.
