I just got back from a 2-hour paddle on the Wallkill and it was magnificent. Craig and his staff were so friendly and helpful getting us setup, fitted well and launched. The river was so calm and peaceful and the site seeing was fantastic. I can't wait to go again.

We took our family that was visiting from the Midwest to Chodikee lake. Craig was so accommodating and informative. He really made our day!

We have rented from Craig twice, once on the Walkill and then last night on Chodikee Lake and up Black Creek. Stupendous experience! Craig is the perfect host - on time, helpful, knowledgable and reasonably priced. I could not believe that he fit 6 kayaks in a minivan. Talk about packing skills!

Kayaking on the Wallkill with my eight year old was heaven. The water is so calm and the current so mild, she had absolutely no trouble figuring out how to move around in her own kayak. The river is gorgeous and this local was reminded, once again, that we live in paradise.

Always an amazing time on the Wallkill. What a peaceful ride usually few Blue Herons along the way. Well worth the money and the prices are more than fair. Thank NPKT!

My friends and I had a fantastic time kayaking with New Paltz Kayaking! It's a really nice river and good, clean equipment. The owners are absolutely lovely too. We arrived at closing and they still let us go out for an hour, which was incredibly cool of them. Really great experience over all, I highly recommend!

Craig makes the kayaking experience smooth and easy, while keeping the boats moving. Add local recommendations and a well-maintained craft, quality overall experience!

Forget about hauling your own kayak...they are equipped with all you need!! Craig was very easy going, taught us how to properly use the oars and gave us a few safety tips. In less than 15 minutes, we were out on the Walkill River and had a great time. Serene with great views!! We will coming back!!

We rented 6 kayaks as a family, and had a blast on the Wallkill. Craig is very friendly, and helped everyone feel comfortable. Our group ranged from age 5 - 71, and this was an excellent family bonding experience. On another day, we rented bikes from Craig through the River 2 Trail in New Paltz, making stops along Water Street Market and Wallkill Market. Add all of these destinations to your weekend adventure in New Paltz, and you'll definitely make memories together! Highly recommended.

Highly highly recommend this for anyone in the area looking to just get out on the water. Craig was great and super friendly. My girlfriend and I had a nice relaxing time out on the river.

My boyfriend and I took out a tandem kayak. The view was stunning, the people there were very friendly and it was a fair price. I was going to book in advance, but did not as the weather was unpredictable. We showed up randomly and were able to go out right away. There are a bunch of tables right by the river where you can bring lunch. It was overall a great experience and I highly recommend this location for a nice peaceful day out.

Craig at New Paltz outfitted our foursome last Friday. Craig treated us well and was supportive and positive all day. Craig was the only outfitter out of 15 that we called who would open up for us and provide great service on a Friday this time of year. The individuals in our group came from a range of paddle backgrounds. Our illustrator friend from NYC, Tom Lintern, had not paddled a single sit-in kayak before. Craig gave our friend a super useful 4 minute clinic on the ins and outs of paddling a craft equal parts technical and recreational. Everything worked out great! Tom was killing the S-curves all day. Thanks Craig!!! Sincerely, Josh

We rented bicycles from Craig along with kayaks. He was wonderful and provided fantastic service. He was extremely helpful and made sure my boys had a great day Would definitely recommend him.

Craig and team were amazing. We did a wine tour with their new van with a group of our friends and found the destinations to be amazing and well thought out. We then transitioned to a kayak tour on the Wallkill River and he helped get us all acclimated with how to use the kayak even with no or little experience. Will do it again!

I can't say enough to recommend these folks. A great experience from end to end: easy to reserve, convenient location with plenty of parking, mellow atmosphere at the launch site, extremely helpful service when our kayakers missed the landing point and had to be found and picked up, and no extra charges for the extra effort. Craig and his crew were friendly, cheerful, courteous, and efficient through the whole excursion.

We had a great time! The river was running too fast this weekend from all the rain, so Craig set me, my husband and 2 children up on a lake outside of town. We rented 2 tandem kayaks and had a beautiful morning. Craig was helpful, punctual and very friendly.

We were looking for a fun activity to do with our 7 year old grandson in New Paltz. A newspaper article which described New Paltz Kayaking Tours made it...
