Cape Cod Kayak Tours

Bassetts Island
Pocasset, Cape Cod Massachusetts

On this 3 hour paddle we’ll be in calm and protected waters exploring one of the largest harbors on the east side of Buzzards Bay. As we start out we’ll pass large waterfront summer homes and marinas sheltering million dollar yachts. In contrast as we paddle around Bassett’s Island, we’ll see that it is almost totally undeveloped; covered with scrub cedar and pine and faced with salt spray roses. Bassett’s Island shelters Pocasset Harbor and the homes on the shoreline from southeast winds and storms, while the more exposed south leg of the island is public land with a great beach for a shore break and quick summer swim.   The beach faces out into Buzzards Bay and from it we may see ships traveling from Boston to New York heading to or from the Cape Cod Canal.
Cost $75

Herring River
West Harwich, Cape Cod Massachusetts

Our 3 hour journey on the Herring River will take us from a tidal river through one of the Cape’s largest salt marshes to a fresh water herring run shaded by oaks and red maples. We’ll paddle away from a purely salt water world up a quiet winding channel, looking on as gently waving salt marsh grasses are replaced by fresh water loving tall reeds and cat tails.  We’ll explore the vibrant colors of an abandoned cranberry bog and its many marsh residents including red wing black birds, belted kingfishers, osprey, great blue herons, multitudes of ducks and a family of mute swans.  Salt marshes like this are a crucial part of the food web, with two thirds of the commercially and ecologically important fish and shell fish species of the northwest Atlantic Ocean spending significant parts of their life sheltering and growing here.
This trip begins and ends at the Town Landing in West Harwich.
Cost $75
