Kayak Excursions – August

2-3 Miles ($65) - August 9 at 8:45 AM

An ideal excursion for those who are adventurous but not that adventurous, these 2 to 3-mile excursions are ideal for beginner to intermediate kayakers.  Depending on the tides that day, the paddles will include some historical content covering either the Ben Franklin Bridge (if we can head north) or Washington Street Pier/Immigration History (if we can head south).  These excursions, from safety talk to returning to the dock, take about 2 hours.

6 Miles ($75) - August 2 at 8:00 AM and August 22 at 12:30 PM

Experienced kayakers, this one has your names all over it! These 6-mile excursions are recommended only for those intermediate to experienced kayakers who can paddle with or against the current for longer durations.

Throughout the summer, our on-water team will offer some select kayak excursions at this higher experience level that gets you out into the river. These excursions, from safety talk to returning to the dock, take about 3.5 hours.

Coffee and Calm - Sunrise Edition!  ($25) - August 16 at 6:00 AM

This special addition of Coffee and Calm is for the early, early birds.  Come paddle and watch the sunrise with the Independence Seaport Museum!

Kick-start your day with calm waters, cool breezes, and caffeination during ISM’s Coffee and Calm program.  This morning paddle lets you sip your coffee and ease into the day.
