The greater Boston area is home to a number of beautiful paddling spots, each with its own history and wildlife. David Emerson, an intrepid kayaker, Kesher husband and owner of two kayaks, will take you for an enjoyable 3-4 hours of kayaking anywhere within a 1-hour radius of Boston on a Fri. or Sun. of your choice (mutually agreeable and weather permitting). Options include the Charles, Concord or Merrimac Rivers, or a number of calm, scenic salt marshes where you can ride in and out with the gentle tides in a protected wilderness area.

This would make the perfect gift for that adventurous someone - even if they have never kayaked.
