Moms know that there are few things that hold the attention of the entire family. When Marie Humphrey started the Family Kayak Adventure Center in 1995 she wanted to offer something that a family could do together in all age groups. Each Kayak seats two.Family Kayak Adventure welcomes children from 2 years old to 9 years old with and adult and children 10 years and older can partner with each other.
Family Adventure Kayaking tours are in lakes and bays throughout San Diego County including: Coronado Island, Mission Bay, South San Diego Bay, Lake Murray, Otay Lake, Lake Hodges, El Capita Reservoir, and Miramar Lake. They meet you there, provide on-land instruction and bring all the equipment for a great time and an amazing workout. The tours also talk about the history, animal and plant life and help children learn to love and appreciate nature at a young age.
“It is a great low impact workout for your entire upper body and your core.” says owner and lead kayaker, Marie Humphrey. It is a great cross training activity for runners and cyclist. Kayaking allows you to give your strong overworked legs a rest, enjoy the beautiful nature in San Diego while still getting your heart pumping! Beginners are welcome so no excuses! No one will be left behind as the slowest boat sets the pace for the group.
Family Kayak Adventure Center works with many San Diego local organizations including the San Diego Natural History Museum, the Boy & Girl Scouts, the Magdalena Ecke YMCA and many others.
Whether you are interested in Fitness, Family Fun, romantic moonlight or sunset tours, Humphrey’s concerts, birthday parties or much more. The Family Kayak Center will provide you a great outdoor adventure, beautiful scenery and an amazing workout.

On such a hot weekend, what a great idea!
Marie's trips are absolutely fantastic - and so is Marie!! These trips are ALL highly recommended - although I think the moonlight paddles are the most spectacular. Totally great fun for the entire family. Enjoy!
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm headed to San Diego next month and this sounds like a rewarding activity on the fun and fitness levels.
By the way, I made use of your advice to slip in exercise when you can this weekend. I took my toddler to the pool. She made me get in while she warmed up to the idea, so I did some tricep dips on the steps while she sat at the edge. That way I could keep an eye on her and tone up a bit. I also did some kicking.
