About this event

**You don't have to be there at the start since we will be at Dinky Dock the entire time.** **This is a joint event hosted by the Central Florida Adventure Seekers.** **Curious about kayaking? This is your chance to give it a try.** Maybe you've seen people kayaking and thought it looked like fun. Maybe you've thought about trying it but weren't sure where to start.
