Adventure Explorations: Hershey Fishing & Kayaking Trips

Hershey, Pennsylvania, is more than just a sweet destination; it’s a vibrant gateway to outdoor adventure along the region’s waterways and wooded hills. Adventure Explorations offers a hands-on way to experience this landscape through a series of meticulously guided trips that blend fishing, paddling, hiking, climbing, and more. Whether you’re cruising calm river floats or scrambling up Chickie's Rock, this local outfit transforms outdoor recreation into a genuine, skill-building adventure.

The area’s diverse landscape plays a crucial role in these experiences. The Susquehanna River and nearby creeks provide varied water conditions perfect for kayaking float trips and fishing rentals, bringing anglers and paddlers into direct contact with native species like smallmouth bass and eastern brook trout. On land, rocky outcrops composed of quartzite offer excellent climbing and rappelling sites, including family-friendly options that won’t overwhelm younger adventurers. The locally guided climbs and hikes emphasize safety and education, ensuring everyone from novice paddlers to first-time climbers can confidently engage with the surroundings.

Unique to Adventure Explorations is their emphasis on inclusive, skill-specific outings like the "By Women, For Women" series that empowers participants through bushcraft and wood whittling, adding tactile connection to the natural world. Their nightly vision tours introduce a different kind of wilderness awareness under the stars, emphasizing the nocturnal rhythms of wildlife.

Customer testimonials highlight the team’s professionalism and warmth, often naming guides like Cody and Jonathan for their thorough knowledge and personalized attention. Their ability to accommodate families, novices, and seasoned outdoor enthusiasts alike sets Adventure Explorations apart as a pillar of Hershey’s outdoor community. After a day of paddling or climbing, guests appreciate the authentic local flavor brought in at tailgate lunches featuring regional fare, deepening the connection to place.
