Kayak & Hike Sipson Island*

August 10, 2021 By Meg Voorhes

Sunday, September 20, from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon

Departure site will be communicated after registration

Sipson Island is 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 “rewilding” and restoring the island, via sipsonislandtrust.org.

The Sipson Island Trust Guide for this hike is  Don Ziegler.

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

*Reservations required, limited to 14 participants. Advanced Registration available to Members, who will be notified when preregistration becomes available. Registration for all individuals opens September 2. 

Click here to register. 

This is a popular event and fills up quickly. We will accept registrations on a first come first serve basis.  OPC will issue confirmations to registered individuals, and unfortunately due to restrictions, we will be unable to accommodate unregistered individuals. 

Departure landing provided with reservation confirmation.   

Sponsored by SUPfari Adventures and Sipson Island Trust
