Cape Cod Kayak Tour Operators

Our Directory of local companies that specialize in Cape Cod kayak tours and rentals is a great place to start for couples who want to go kayaking on Cape Cod but either have no equipment, no experience of just don't know the best best places to go.

These companies are owned and operated by real experts who can rent you the gear you need, give you lessons and safety tips if necessary, tell you best places (and, just as important, the best times) to go kayaking, and even take you out on fully guided Cape Cod kayaking tours.

We've divided the directory by region (Upper Cape, Mid Cape, Lower Cape and Outer Cape) and included some brief information about each operator and a link to each company's own website. We have also offered visitors a chance to write reviews of trips they may have taken with these operators, so look out for those if you want an independent view of the services each one offers.

Here, then, is our run down of the top Cape Cod kayak operators.
