Swells Circumnavigating Monomoy Island - Atlantic Kayak Tours Cape Cod Trips


Coming Down.

Going Up!
















Took these photos just a few seconds apart - shows the big swell offshore when rounding Monomoy Island, pretty much an all-day trip considering the times I've done it we've run into shallow water on the west side due to moving sands in the area - had to walk/tow. Beautiful, remote, exhilarating trip every time.  These photos above are from 2005.

Each year AKT staff and clients head up to Cape Cod to paddle in October for the Columbus Day long weekend. Monomoy, Provincetown, Pleasant Bay, Barnstable Harbor, Wellfleet - lots of paddling options. Some add'l photos of other trips below - can be warm and sunny, or more often cold and windy. Either way, the Cape is relatively empty in October and the foliage is there to see.  These trips are among my favorite kayaking experiences - having spent the summer season staffing trips/programs but only seeing other AKT staff members occasionally when assigned to the same programs, it's nice to all get together an the end of the year and just enjoy a new, fun venue.  Awesome.
