The tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind and respectful. Did not try to micromanage us experienced kayakers, just let us know where to stop along at our pace. Would definitely recommend at least once.

The kayak tour was very convenient to find from where we are staying and well organized. Our guide was great and we learned some new facts about the area during the tour. One downside- the river was very muddy and smelled like sulfur, but that was mother nature’s doing!

My trip was canceled due to weather and I still haven’t gotten my refund. A refund was promised and I am waiting…

Liam was our tour guide and he was great! Very personable and made it a point to remember everyone’s names. This tour was great for both experience kayakers and newbies. Getting in an out of the water with kayaks and a large group can be quite time consuming, however, the crew made it extremely fast and efficient! Would for sure go back next time we visit OBX!!!!

It was a very peaceful and scenic trip! Our guide did a great job! This is truly an experience for beginners who have never kayaked before.

We took this tour in July. The weather is very HOT. We picked the 6pm trip hoping it would be cooler. It was. Our guide Rylie was great. We are not beginners at kayaking. We had a nice leisurely paddle. Learned about the area. It was a nice trip.

Flan was great! We had fun on the water even if our trip was cut short by Mother Nature. We look forward to coming back again.

I loved the guide! He was helpful and professional. However, we saw no wildlife and nothing was mentioned on tge tour about the area and history. Not very interactive but peaceful float down the river.
