Sea Kayaking is an exhilarating activity that many people have never tried. It’s not really like being on a small boat… it’s a totally different experience in which you really feel connected to the water and ocean itself in a way that’s unlike any other.

There are two basic types of sea kayaking adventures that you can try:

Beach Kayak – These are generally inexpensive sea kayaks that you strap yourself onto in your bathing suit and can play in small waves, falling over repeatedly, climbing in and out, etc. It’s a great water toy and a lot of fun.

Long Range Sea Kayak – This is the type with the water-proof “skirt” that keeps the water from getting inside. You can put food, clothing, and camping supplies in these kayaks and go for overnight journeys. If you fall over, you can (theoretically) pop back up, but that takes quite a bit of training to get right.

Sea kayaking, whichever type you try, is really a great experience that we highly recommend. However, it does have the potential to be dangerous when you’re out in the big waves and on the rocky coasts near Montezuma. Large sets of waves can come in unexpectedly and have the potential to smash you onto the rocks. Unless you’re with a very experienced guide, you shouldn’t go too far. Swift current and ocean winds can also make the return trip difficult. Because you’ll tire out during the first half of your journey, it’s a good idea to plan to go up-wind and/or up-current so you can drift more easily home if need be.
