This Epic Kayak Tour Will Give You A New Perspective on New Hampshire

Chances are, if you've lived in New Hampshire for any length of time you've spent your fair share of time on the beaches along the seacoast — and maybe even on boats exploring the coastline. But if you haven't kayaked it, you're missing out — there's something about being so close to the water, propelling yourself, that puts you in touch with nature in a unique way. If you're intrigued by kayaking but don't know where to start — or if you're an experienced kayaker who could use some guidance around the Portsmouth Harbor region — we have just the company for you to check out.

Portsmouth Kayak Company has become beloved by locals and visitors alike for their friendly, informative approach to introducing people to both kayaking and the Portsmouth Harbor area.

Most of their tours run around 2-3 hours, and they have options for beginners (like the New Castle tour) and more experienced kayakers (like the 3-hour Portsmouth Habor tour). They run about $45 per person.

The views you'll get of the seacoast on these tours is really something special – it'll make you appreciate New Hampshire in a whole new way.

Some of the outfit's most incredible and unique offerings are their sunset and full moon tours, which will give you an absolutely magical experience of a quiet, serene Little Harbor.

This is the perfect activity for a group of friends – whether you're celebrating a special event or just looking to spend time with some of your favorite people.

You can even paddle to a hidden beach for a yoga class with the most amazing view!

Prefer to go it alone? You can rent kayaks and stand-up paddleboards from the company as well. Once you get hooked, you can buy one here too!

Portsmouth Kayak Adventures is located at 185 Wentworth Road, Portsmouth, NH 03801. For details on specific tours, pricing, and booking, check out their website or Facebook page.
