Join the Kayak School staff as we go in search of one of the most endearing winter residents of Narragansett Bay, the harbor seal.  Harbor seals migrate from the Gulf of Maine and Atlantic Canada into Narragansett Bay’s warmer waters in the winter months. Once quite rare in the area, harbor seal populations have rebounded since the passage of the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972.
Here in the Bay, they are protected from many of their natural predators like orcas and sharks. Viewing these animals by kayak gives you an opportunity not available any other way; you can look these animals right in the eye, from their perspective, in their environment.
We will launch from Newport Harbor and head towards one of the many ledges these animals use for haul outs during the winter months.  These curious creatures are often quite interested in kayaks and will investigate boats from behind, following almost silently.

We meet at Fort Adams at 10am and will return at approximately 2:30pm
Cost $ 75
