Urban Paddle Kayak Tours, Lessons & Kayak Trips

I went Kayaking with my two kids and even though I was excited for the experience I was kind of afraid for my little one’s safety….
But the whole crew was amazing they gave us the instructions, they guided us and most important, they all made us feel safe…
I definitely will do it again with my kids.
They are so professional and caring with the group they worked with.
It’s so important to feel safe with people.
I’m so grateful for Dante, Kevin and Connor…♥️♥️♥️

My friend and I did the night LED tour and it was awesome! The views were amazing!! The staff was friendly, attentive to everyone’s need and courteous. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed. A+

I bought a Double Kayak/Two Adults LED kayak tour a couple months back. However, due to unforeseen weather conditions - I had to rebook for 3 times. Which I completely understand! Weather will always be a gamble no matter how much you prepare.

I would've given this a 5-star but dropped one due to my customer service experience outside of the actual kayak experience.

Not sure if it's the anxiety in me, but every time rainy weather crept up my window, I would constantly check my emails, texts, Urban Paddle's website or Instagram to see if there was an official update whether our tour had been cancelled. Although it made sense in my head, having an official confirmation sent out would've been reassuring - rather than having me reach out via email, their live chat, text message, and Instagram to try to re-confirm my tour had been cancelled. Luckily I live close by so I didn't have commit to driving any long distances.

Because I had to rebook so often, there was an additional charge on my account that no one told me about until I got to the kayak site. But the team was able to waive it knowing that all my rebooks were due to weather conditions - which I appreciate. The whole LED kayak experience itself was extremely professional and enjoyable.

We were provided life jackets and headlights along with a quick tutorial on how to properly steer our kayaks. The team preps with a variety of water vehicles to ensure top tier safety while we go on our tour. I felt very safe having the team on the waters with us and loved the view of the NYC skyline with our glowing LED kayaks. You can tell the team's passion for kayaks and work really hard to keep this business running.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time when I was there, and recommend this experience if you're around the area! Just triple check the weather and stay on top of this team if you foresee any poor weather conditions.

The kayaking on the Hudson is awesome! The team is damn professional and very supportive for all levels. I had kids who are aged 6 and 8; both loved being in the water and the instructions provided. My only regret is that I didn't do this earlier in the summer !!! Would have done several rounds of it :). Keep up the good work Kevin and team!
