Most reviewed Kayaking & Canoeing in Massachusetts
5.0Zoar Outdoor/Deerfield Valley Canopy Tours(547 reviews) - Excellent and professional Monday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM River Rafting & Tubing • Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks • Kayaking & Canoeing
We did the "Gap" white water rafting with level 2 to 3 rapids. We had a great time on Sunday. We did the gap tour since we had some tweens in the group. I felt our guide, Bob, was outstanding and reassuring to people of all ages in the group. He was engaging with the 13 year olds as well as the adults, and even learned the names of the kids from the raft our friends were on. It’s obvious Bob knows the river like the back of his hand and seemed to guide the boat with great skill, while also watching out for the other two rafts on our trip. My kids are already looking forward to next year when we will try the more advanced trip.See more..

5.0Coast to Coast Paddle(19 reviews) - First time paddler to experienced enthusiast; Coast to Coast guided excursions have something for everyone! Monday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing
I have done several off season guided paddles with Coast to Coast and every one of them has been excellent! The Misery Island paddle and hike was one of my favorites yet! I’m from the North Shore and paddle on my own frequently. I started doing off seasons paddles to keep up my favorite hobby year round and I’m never disappointed! I’ve experienced many new places and some I have visited before, but through a new lens. Aaron and Ashley are friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and low-key. They keep the group together while accommodating paddlers of all abilities. Coast to Coast has become an essential part of my off-season routine; helping me through the long New England Winter!See more..
5.0Osprey Sea Kayak Adventures(19 reviews) - Mixed Monday: Gear Rentals • Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing
Two points to this review. 1 I recently purchased two used kayaks from them. Best experience I have had in awhile. Very quick reply’s and very happy with the purchases. Good people. 2 my daughter and I kayaked down the river near them today. Very beautiful. Lots of wildlife and very peaceful. Highly recommend checking this out. See more..

4.5Nashoba Paddler(14 reviews) - Best canoeing around. Kayaking & Canoeing
We've been to many canoeing venues in the area. Nashoba Paddlers, by far, the best! We canoed upriver and barely passed another human and along the banks, there's walking paths and not much more. Unlike other canoe sites, it is undeveloped along the banks. You can almost imagine what the first settlers saw when they arrived in the new land. Definitely check it out!See more..
4.5Nantasket Kayaks(12 reviews) - Great experience close to Boston Monday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Water Sports • Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing
Kayaking at Nantasket bay is a great gateway to spend a nice half day, at 45 mins from Boston. in just a couple of hours we explored the bay around " world' s end", did a bit of trekking, paddled to Hingham yacht club and Langley island, in addition to a couple of swims. landscape was various and amazing. we didn't paddle to the estuary of the river, which we plan to do next time and is supposed to be very nice. parking is just next to the kayak center and free.The paddling was very safe since the area is protected by the land and there are no waves. The guy of the kayak center has been very helpful in giving us all the advice and a waterproof bag for our personal stuff. At the end we crossed the street and relaxed a bit on nanantsket beach and had a lunch in one of the bars facing the beach.See more..
My husband and I did the Onset Bay tour. Our guide, Christine Tufts, was really great. This was our first time ocean kayaking and we told her our mission was to see how we liked it and whether or not we would like to invest in kayaks. She took us to various locations so we could test out our skills. There are many tours so if we decide to do another one, we would definitely ask for her.See more..
5.0Foote Brothers(5 reviews) - Fun trip Monday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Boat Rentals • Kayaking & Canoeing
My husband and I rented the kayaks. The staff was very friendly and had a lot of information about the area trails also. It's a nice leisurely kayak with a lot to see. We thought it was very relaxing and would do it again.See more..
Dave was great in scheduling (and rescheduling for weather!) our trip, and great once we were on the water. There was a talk on safety in the beginning which wasn't overbearing. We kayaked around Norton Reservoir and were free to go at our own pace. The group size was about 8 -- he introduced everyone at the beginning of the trip. Dave knows the local area very well, and he was able to share lots of information about the reservoir and town of Norton. He seems to like his job. The water is shallow, so it wasn't too cold -- it warms up quickly. Price was reasonable, $60 regularly, but look for deals. Wear sunscreen on your legs!See more..
5.0Adventure Activities USA(2 reviews) - Great times at an team building event! Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing
At an large team building event, Adventure Activities was brought in to setup some activities to help add some interactivity and fun into the event. Surpassed our expectations by a mile. Stuart was engaging, professional, organized, and the activities like Axe Throwing was a ton of fun and above all SAFE.See more..

1.0Nemasket Kayak Center(1 review) - Kayak rentals on the side of a highway. Kayaking & Canoeing
There was misunderstanding when we reserved the kayak rental. I was under the impression that we were getting to go on a tour, but that was not the case, as we were rudely told when we got there. We were given our kayaks and sent on our way solo to paddle along a busy river's edge. I wouldn't have minded the misunderstanding if they were more pleasant. Also, trying to get the boats in the water was challenging and I was yelled at that I might cut my feet if I take my shoes off, which is what happened because there was glass in the mud. Eventually, the smell of fried foods from the overabundance of restaurants and strip malls and the noise of traffic diminished as we traveled further away from the major roadways. The river itself was beautiful and I would give this business a better review if they were up front about expectations of the tour, if the staff was friendlier, and if the task of getting in and out of the river wasn't so difficult.See more..
