Kayaking in Huntington Harbor: Two hours at your own pace

Paddle around Huntington Harbor on your own schedule

Kayak rental in Huntington Harbor gives you two hours to explore the water at your own pace with a kayak, paddle and safety briefing included. You choose where to go within the designated area, and the operator provides all the equipment you need to stay safe and comfortable on the water.

The experience

You get two hours on the water with a kayak and paddle, plus a safety briefing that covers where you can and can't paddle in Huntington Harbor. The rental includes all the gear you need to get started. You just show up and push off. The harbor itself is calm enough for beginners to handle, but open enough that you can explore different routes depending on what you want to see and how far you feel like going.

The operator is a small business that upgrades equipment regularly and donates 1% of profits to beach cleanups, so you're renting from people who care about the water you're paddling in. There's no guide narrating the route or fixed itinerary to follow. You set the pace and pick the direction, which means you can linger in one spot or cover more ground depending on how you want to spend the two hours.

What’s included

• Kayak and paddle.
• safety briefing covering the paddling area and water rules.
