Northwest River Guides teams up with Next Adventure this Sunday morning from 9:00-11:30 for a beginner kayak lesson in Portland, Oregon, and the opportunity to try out a kayak from Next Adventure! We meet at Sellwood Park for an introduction to kayaks, paddle strokes, safety and how to hold the paddle.

We’ll then head out for a paddle up to Ross Island, one of Portland, Oregon’s best kept wildlife and paddling secrets. You’ll experience the rise and fall of the river, gentle waves, check out house boats, and at Ross Island listen to and watch hundreds of nesting birds including herons, eagles, ospreys, kingfishers, and more! If we’re lucky we’ll see a beaver or nutria.

This is a great way to get a value priced beginner kayak lesson in Oregon and test out a kayak. At the conclusion you’ll receive discount cards for purchases at Next Adventure! You need to reserve a kayak. Call 503-772-1122, stop by Next Adventure at 426 SE Grand Avenue, or use their handy online reservation system.
