LA River Kayak Safari is the leader of urban kayaking in Los Angeles.   Our unique trip is a nature adventure in the middle of the city that combines bikes, kayaks, instruction, and storytelling.   We will host you at our kayak center in Frogtown.   Learn about the history and future of the river and its ecology. Expert instructors teach to you the basics as well as how to manage small rapids.   A bird watchers delight, we meander the river past former train yards slated as public park lands.
