Sea kayaking adventure on the Hudson River in New York, with lunch and a beer

Ready for a sea kayaking adventure? Join us on the mighty Hudson River for 3.5 hours of paddling and a stop at the famous 79th Street Boat Basin for an outdoor lunch and a beer!


Manhattan Kayak, the New York City region’s premier full service sea kayaking guiding and instruction company, will lead us in an open water paddling workshop designed exclusively for Outdoor Bound. With fast moving current, dynamic hydraulic conditions, unique sites and history, the Hudson river estuary is truly a world class sea kayaking resource providing an unlimited amount of on water fun.
To meet the challenges of this area and turn active minded individuals of all ages on to the joys of “Gotham paddling” Manhattan Kayak has pioneered full body kayaking with an emphasis on effective technique and safety. With more than a decade of success, Manhattan Kayak is now excited to partner with Outdoor Bound in a continued effort to get busy New Yorkers out on the water to check out the exhilarating and relaxing experience of HUMAN POWERED boating around Manhattan Island.
On this great half-day tour, we will paddle from 26th Street up to the 79th Street Boat Basin with the incoming tide, have lunch and a beer (out of pocket), then paddle back on the slack tide.

Skill Requirements

You need to have some experience kayaking, be confident in the water and know how to swim. Good core strength and endurance are required. Example: If you can do 20 push ups, if you work out 3 or more times per week, or are an avid yogi or Pilates practitioner, you will be fine, but make no mistake: this is a strenuous workout.

Kayaks will be sit-on-top sea kayaks which are very stable, or classic “sit inside” decked kayaks with spray skirt (more experienced kayakers). The return may bring us some headwinds, so a good workout is guaranteed. You must be taller than 4’10” to participate.
There is guaranteed to be wake from passing ships and ferries, strong current and tidal surge. Please carefully consider your abilities before signing up.

All gear is included: kayak, paddles, life jacket, spray skirt (if needed).

Experienced, Fun & Qualified Guides

From cycling across the United States to leading horse treks through New Zealand to scaling Nepalese peaks, Outdoor Bound guides have real-world outdoor experience. Collectively, they have hiked, biked, climbed and kayaked tens of thousands of miles around the globe.

Whether their professional backgrounds are as teachers, personal trainers, artists, environmentalists or business leaders, they all have an extensive knowledge of the natural world and local history. Each guide has also passed a rigorous guide certification program and is trained in wilderness first aid or as a Wilderness First Responder.

Diverse & Interesting Groups

There is no typical Outdoor Bound participant. While ages typically range from 20 to 50, those who come to experience outdoor adventure range from singles to couples, from lawyers to waiters. They are a mix of women and men. While the group is always diverse, you will certainly feel welcome. Our guides go the extra mile to make the atmosphere of each trip social and fun. Many people in the Outdoor Bound community have forged lasting friendships as a result of our trips.

New Experiences

Skydiving, ice-climbing, hot-air ballooning, skiing and hiking every weekend are just a few of Outdoor Bound’s year-round adventures. These trips are accessible to everyone, including the novice, who might feel a little uneasy, the young urban professional trying to get away and even the adrenaline junkie looking for a new rush.

Environmental Awareness

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures,” is the Leave No Trace motto embraced by Outdoor Bound. From purchasing bamboo T-shirts to printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper, Outdoor Bound strives to create the least environmental impact possible while on trips and in the office.
