THE LAZY RIVER TOUR

 
A two hour escape down the beautiful Galien River

 

 

Looking for something unique and fun to do in New Buffalo? Want to explore what Michigan's Harbor Country has to offer away from the beaten path? Look no further! Third Coast Surf Shop’s Lazy River Tour is it.

 

You and your family and friends can experience what most visitors (and locals) never get to see as you lazily paddle down the mellow, winding Galien River. The paddle offers a serene, slow moving, two hour kayak or stand up paddleboard (SUP) unguided tour on an unspoiled river with and an abundance of nature and wildlife such as Great Blue Herons, rarely seen birds, beavers and other local floral and fauna.

 

How does it work?

 

Reservations must be made in advance! You can Add To Cart below or call us at 269-932-4575 to reserve.
 
It’s easy! After making your reservation you will meet us at the main Shop about 15 minutes early. Our employees will load the kayaks or SUPs, paddles, and life vests before meeting you and your friends at the drop off point – 2 miles north of New Buffalo on Red Arrow Highway.

 

Then, you take a leisurely unguided paddle down the river as you wind toward New Buffalo’s Harbor, about 3 miles away by kayak or stand up paddleboard, enjoying the peace and quiet along the way. You’ll end near the parking lot at the New Buffalo City Beach, where we’ll pick you up. The trip takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.     

 

How much does it cost?

 

$45 includes the kayak (single or tandem) or SUP, paddle, life vest, and transportation.
