Pull into their parking lot, right on Main St. It's a shared lot, so don't worry about parking in…read morethe wrong spots, unless there are signs in the spots specifically saying otherwise. There's a clean bathroom toward the back of the lot, complete with a shower. So, after you get all nasty from kayaking in the sun for a couple hours, you can clean up and change into dry clothes. The staff was super. Very polite and helpful. From the dock, you pull past docked boats, and right out into the river. It's a gentle ride. Very little current. And it's a no wake zone for a decent distance. Perfect for beginners. The 2 routes they recommend are 1. Into the bird sanctuary, or 2. Past a bridge (route 105?), round an island, and come back. They recommended doing only one of the 2 due to time. But we were able to do both and come back with plenty of time left of our 2 hour trip. A great introduction to kayaking.

I rented a couple of Kayaks from here yesterday. The reservation was pretty easy to make, with…read moreoptions to fill out the waivers and pay for this in advance, online. We arrived 1/2 hour late, and they were able to hold our equipment and it made no difference in our reservation... 4 hours began at the time that we stepped out of their office. They have a restroom for the public in the next building over, which was kept clean and stocked. A gentleman helped us into our kayaks and sent us off. The river is beautiful, though because it's quite wide, you need to share it with yachts and boats of various sizes. This creates some waves, and they can be a pain in the ass. In general, people on the water are cool with each other, but there are some (maybe it's a Long Island thing) who feel so superior in their big beautiful boats and treat you like a pipsqueak in their way. As I was all the way to the right side of the river, while returning to the dock, a boat came up behind me. I turned around, looked at the guy driving, and he made a hand motion to say "move over to the left." I thought I was blocking his way into his dock, but he passed me by and kept going straight! Like WTF? That has nothing to do with L.I. Canoe Kayak Rentals, I'm just commenting on the experience in general. To add to the experience, there are some really nice spots with exposed sand (when it's not high tide) that you can hang out along and explore nature. There's a bird sanctuary as well... which wasn't really that impressive, but that may have just been my timing. When we returned to the dock, we pulled in our kayaks and there was no one present to help us out. A couple of ladies pulled their kayaks in, and one needed help getting out, so we provided that help ourselves. I wasn't so impressed about that aspect of this business, though I realize it's probably a lot to ask for them to have someone standing on the dock all day to receive people who are returning. It wasn't a cheap trip, but I'd likely return. I will probably check out some other places first though.

We went on a very impromptu paddleboarding run on a Saturday. Everyone at the shop was extremely…read morehelpful, a little bit of language barrier and snafu here and there, but they were the most pleasant and gave us recommendations based on our time frame and experience level. They sell some incidentals at the shop, but didn't try to upsell. We were instructed to pick up the life jacket, but they brought the paddleboard over to the dock across the street. There was no demonstration, but it was easy enough to figure out that I started backwards on my board and the family was nice enough not to say anything about it (lol). We did a very short ride, an hour out in the water. The paddleboard and the paddle seemed well-maintained (not that I am an expert). The course they suggested was perfect as it gave us some time in the water. Because it was the height of the day, it was not very crowded out in the water, though I could see larger groups starting their rides by the time we came back to shore. It was a surprisingly pleasant experienced and I love that it's a family business. I would visit the Peconic Paddler again.

They helped us decide what would work best for our group. They gave us all life preservers and had us in the water and going within 5 min of arrival. Easy Peezy. You can go as long as you want or just do a quick float about. We did about a 2 mile trip, (took about 3 hours)we arrived at a small waterfall and the kids got to get out and play about a little. They loved it, don't forget your water shoes and your bathing suit. You cant really swim but you will get somewhat wet. Pack a lunch or go to the end where there is a spot to get out and grab and taco or some ice cream. Maybe both. The trip back went a little faster as you are going back with the current. If you are always wondering what to do with the kids ( of any age ) I highly recommend you try this place.

She showed us what to do ahead of time and explained just how to get ourselves ready for a fabulous class. She asked if there was anyone who was new to Paddleboarding and/or yoga and helped those who were new to the practice. We all had a very good time. Afterwards, she was helpful for those who wanted to paddle more or do additional poses. Some did headstand- on the board- wow! Just wow. Great time! Highly recommend this fabulous experience to everyone. If you are in the Hamptons (near Dockers) its a must do for you and your friends and family.
