Guided Kayaking: Morning in a Connecticut Salt Marsh - All Equipment Included

Start your day with a peaceful morning paddle through the East River Marsh in Guilford, Connecticut, as the marsh awakens with the day. The rhythmic dip of your paddle blends with the sounds of the marsh: the distant cry of an osprey, the rustle of spartina grass, and the quick chatter of shorebirds feeding in the mudflats.

As we glide through the winding channels, keep an eye out for willets patrolling the shoreline, their sharp calls echoing across the flats. Along the muddy banks, fiddler crabs scurry in and out of their burrows, waving their oversized claws in the morning light. Whether you’re a birder, a paddler, or just someone looking for a calm, meaningful start to the day, this guided kayak trip offers a beautiful and immersive experience in one of Connecticut’s hidden coastal gems.

Difficulty: Intermediate - Should be able to paddle for 20 minutes at a time. See website for basic physical requirements.
