History

Established in 2012.

Cocoa Kayaks of Hershey began our first rental season in April 2013 as a family owned/​operated business. In 2014 we purchased access to the creek for our most popular trip choice, Boathouse Run, an area our customers see the most bald eagles. We continually look for aspects to improve our operation to make your experience more memorable. In 2015 we expanded our inventory to 27 single kayaks (including 2 kid size) and three 2-​person kayaks.

Meet the Business Owner

Ben M.

Business Owner

At a young age Ben was exposed to the outdoors and protecting nature. Soon after outdoor recreation flourished in everyday life. Once Ben and Debra’s kids were old enough the appreciation of outdoor activities continued to expand. After many experiences as a customer and guide on rivers, it became clear a recreational kayak rental business on the gentle Swatara Creek was a natural setting for Ben to help others enjoy outdoor recreation on one of Pennsylvania’s most beautiful water trails.
