Went out on the Medway River not knowing a thing about WW Kayaking. Our instructors showed us the safety first then the excitement and thrills soon followed. Excellent equipment and felt completely at ease with their guidance. Matt & Cliff showed me what I can do with the proper training. AWESOME. Looking forward to joining Candlebox Kayaking in the near future for another fabulous adventure." - Wayne, TripAdvisor Course Duration: 4 hours. Start Time: 1pm.
