Tripping and guiding is about judgment, preparation, and moving through real environments with intention — not just paddling skills.

Our ORCKA Kayak Tripping and Guiding courses meet national standards while emphasizing practical decision-making, leadership, and self-sufficiency on multi-day expeditions. Each level builds toward greater independence on the water, covering trip planning and logistics, risk assessment and group management, navigation, weather, and environmental awareness, and living, travelling, and making decisions from a loaded kayak.

Run by qualified ORCKA instructors, these courses develop real tripping competence — not just checklist completion.
