About this event

  • 3 hours

Celebrate the Summer Solstice and fall equinox with us! Includes a guided tour and a floating picnic on the water!

Our guides will take you on a tour through the Meadowlands estuary, exploring the many hidden channels, summer birds and wildlife, along with a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline.

We'll picnic "out back" in the phragmite bay. Bring your own lunch or purchase a bag lunch!

Be sure to bring your binoculars or borrow a pair of ours!

For adults and teens ages 16 and up. Each teen must have an adult paddling with them. Meet and check in at the Laurel Hill Paddling Center, 1/2 hour before trip departs.

Download directions to Laurel Hill Park.

Save time and download your waiver today!

Tickets are available to rent one of our kayaks or bring your own!

Opt in for a bag lunch if you'd like us to cater it for you.


*NOTE: For those who would like to bring their own boats, traditional or PVC kayaks perform best in the waters of Laurel Hill. It is recommended that foldable kayaks be models that are specified as suitable for choppy water. Not every foldable kayak is appropriate or sturdy enough for live current/choppy water paddling. Inflatable kayaks are generally not recommended as they could risk puncture in the tall grasses and may be hindered if the wind gusts. If unsure, we recommend you rent one of ours.
