Based out of Suisun, California, Northern California Kayaks offers private lessons, group lessons, offering a variety of tours including fishing, photography and bird watching. Touring the local still water areas is fun and open to people from ages 9 upwards, and we also accommodate people with special needs. Our mission is to provide kayaking opportunities to people of all ages with varying degrees of ability. We offer our travel trips for adults only, or family excursions.

Children aged 5 to 9 are welcome if accompanied by an adult using our tandem kayaks.

Kayak Instruction

At Northern California Kayaks we focus all our attentions on your individual needs and abilities and that’s why we offer private lessons to everyone. If you don’t know how to swim that’s alright, we can show you there’s no need for any apprehension because we can teach you the basics to be efficient and safe on the water. And who knows, you might even be more comfortable around the water. Understanding that while everyone is different the general rules will always apply, so properly fitting personal flotation devices (PFD) are always worn throughout each lesson, as is the right size paddle to fit your height as well as your hand size. Every one of all ages and abilities can learn to kayak!
