RATED FIVE STARS ON TRIP ADVISOR!
I surprised my mom with this kayak tour of downtown Providence and we couldn't have been happier! We both absolutely loved the tour and had a great guide who was funny and very informative!!!

The trip was nice, their staff is very helpful from start to finish in regard to helping you safely get into the kayak, and ensuring that you safely get out. Looking forward to going back in a few weeks with another friend.

All the steps were explained to us as well as a very helpful guidance of where to go. The staff also was great with helping us get in and out of the kayaks and getting us going. Highly recommend the Providence Kayak folks!

We paddled under all the bridges down the Waterfire route and back. Got to see the city and The Providence Flea from the water. The staff was very friendly and prepared us well. This is such a great idea for Providence!

Super fun and great quick day outing. Lived in Prov for 7 years and first time I did this. Great views and photos. And awesome way to see the city at a new angle. Highly recommend!!! And the price can't be beat!

Thing were smoothly operated, staff was very kind and helpful. Our guide CJ was great, he was very informative with the history of the city as we went along the river(s). I enjoyed this tour very much and would certainly recommend it.

One of the best ways to see Providence! They were wonderful. I was a little worried because I hadn't kayaked in forever and I'm a bit uncoordinated getting in and out of boats. They have a great thingy that helps you get in and out of the kayaks, and once you are in, the view is awesome.

Showed up on a sunny Saturday afternoon and the staff was extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. We got a little pre-paddling guidance on where to go and how to stay safe. They were also really great at safely and easily getting us in and out of their boats.
