Sipson Island Kayak & Walk*

August 10, 2021 By John Smith

Sunday, September 14th, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon

Sipson Island is now open to the public after being in private hands for 300 years! We’ll enjoy a tour of the island hosted by the Sipson Island Trust after a paddle through Pleasant Bay with Guide and kayaks provided by SUPfari Adventures. This tour is offered free of charge; we request a gratuity for our SUPfari Guide and please consider a donation to the Trust in support of their work to “un-develop” and restore the island, via sipsonislandtrust.org.  

This trip is for experienced kayakers only. Approximately 1.5 miles each way, but winds, currents and tides can make it challenging.
