About Blueway Adventures

Our primary mission is to provide a safe and memorable

kayaking experience that showcases nature’s beauty and

character. Your safety is our number one priority. We limit 

the size of our tours to ensure you receive individualized

attention, can ask questions, socialize and enjoy the

natural surroundings. We use high quality, clean, well

maintained and safe equipment. 

We help you find the activity that best fits your needs. We

engage with you to discover what most interests you and

thrills you. We listen to concerns you may have, learn

about any special

needs and

suggest activities

based on that

information. Our

communication

with you is

ongoing - before

the booking,

during the

activity and

afterward - to be sure we’ve given you the best outdoor

experience. Our commitment to safety and the highest

quality service is what sets Blueway Adventures apart from

others.
