We intended to bring our kayaks but for a variety of reasons that didn't work out. New Paltz Kayaks to the rescue. The whole thing could not have gone smoother or more pleasantly, from finding the location, to the rental process and to the couple of hours we spent on the Walkill. Richard was very helpful and with my bum knees I REALLY appreciated that he was there with a hand when I needed one getting back out of the kayak - spared me a more embarrassing moment. Good value, good people, good experience.

Rented bicycles from Craig and was not disappointed. Bikes were in great condition and easy to use.read more

Storm King Adventure Tours was one of the highlights of our summer. It exceeded every expectation…read more The staff (Colin, the crew and our guest/former guide Cara!) were welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to share the beauty of the Hudson Valley and the history of Bannerman Castle. Being out on the water gave us a completely different perspective of the surrounding landscape. The pace was relaxed, giving us time to laugh, talk, and enjoy the experience together. It ended up being one of those rare outings that genuinely brought our group closer. Everything was thoughtfully organized. The equipment was in excellent condition, the guides were professional and friendly, the gear guide and instructions were clear, and the entire experience felt effortless from start to finish. Some of us were first-timers, while others were seasoned paddlers, and the guides made everyone feel comfortable and confident from the start. Every person in our group had a wonderful time. By the end of the day, new passions had been sparked, and we were already planning to get back on the water. Whether you're visiting the Hudson Valley or have lived here your whole life, I can't recommend Storm King Adventure Tours enough. It's the kind of experience that reminds you to slow down, find peace, be present with yourself, appreciate where you are, and enjoy the people you're with. We all left smiling, with great photos, lasting memories, and plans to come back.

If you're just paddling, I think 1 hour is enough but if you want to stop and play on the sandbar then 2 hours. Great time with a great business.

We (two adults and two young kids) rented a canoe and a double kayak on the Croton River on a…read morebeautiful fall day. It was a wonderful slice of nature, which looked and felt a lot more remote than It was (there was a bit of highway noise on the lower half of the river). The equipment was in great shape, and the staff helpful and friendly. We went close to high tide, and were able to make it about a mile and a half before the river became too shallow. The staff member said one could do that in about 45 minutes, but with kids, an hour was more reasonable. The two and a half hour rental was a perfect amount of time, as that allowed us to proceed leisurely, explore some of the little nooks on the edge of the river, and take time for the all important snack break. All in all this was a wonderful experience, and we all can't wait to do it again.

And he goes like nothing wrong with the equipment it's moving. I requested to call the manager to look at the camera to actually see that the equipment was not even working, then Zack replied and I requested to replace the equipment only he's like oh ok just send us an email and we will see what we can do.
