Kayak Tours

Group of five kayakers paddling

Join the Nantucket Waterkeeper RJ Turcotte, along with members of our partner organizations, for a 2-hour educational tour of Nantucket’s great ponds. ⁠

Explore firsthand the incredible biodiversity of Nantucket’s unique Great Ponds, discuss water
quality issues that face our island’s water resources, and find out how you can help protect and
preserve these special ponds!⁠

Participants will gain a greater understanding of our island’s water resources and great pond
systems and enjoy a fun and educational morning on the water. Kayaks and lifejackets will be
provided. ⁠All kayak tours begin at 9AM.

Please note that the NLWC may need to cancel this tour due to unforeseen weather changes. You will be notified in advance; however, ticket purchases are non-refundable. In the event of a cancellation, your purchase will be processed as a donation and becomes fully tax-deductible.
