The rental kayaks were very nice. The staff was very helpful both coming and going. The waterway is really beautiful. Can’t say enough good things.

Lovely slow moving river through lush greenery. The boarding and disembarking from kayak could have been easier with a ramp which is what many kayak providers use.
The experience was great and easy! The customer service was great, and getting the kayak/permitter was quick and straightforward!
Super enjoyable, first time going kayaking. Me and my dad loved it! Beautiful scenery and not difficult to navigate. Wish we could’ve stayed out there longer, it was so nice! 😊
We booked this excursion and no one was there when we arrived so we didn’t get our kayak rental. We called the office and it went straight to voicemail and the voicemail box was full.
From experienced to first time users this is the place to go. Go with a group or take off to explore on your own.
Kitty Hawk kayak was unreasonable hiding behind their “cancellation “ policy in refusing to allow me to switch to a different tour when I explained I thought I signed up for the tour and not rental. Basically they just stole money.

Sounds like you need to read carefully next time. Give us a call so we can try to make this right (252) 261-0145. Other tours are likely full or more expensive from the rental. Hopefully you did get on the water and had a nice time.

My family had a relaxing time kayaking on a beautiful day. We were able to go around 4 miles within our two hour self-guided tour, with all of us going at their own pace. Lots of turtles and two bridges for nice photo ops.
Wife time kayaking she like it and we liked the tour. Saw a lot cool stuff and saw alligator. Nice two hr tour first time in outer banks .
This family outting was fun for kids and relaxing for the adults. Perfect combo ! I would recommend.
The views on the way was nice, but all equipment is old. The staff was friendly but 2 hours were much for this.
Enjoyed the calm waters and seeing the only covered bridge in the OBX! We only met 2 other travelers on the water and they were both extremely courteous. At first you pass privately owned docks but after just a bit, you get into the quiet with only nature!
It was a simple and quiet experience needed. Ages 53 to 7 in our group and we all loved it. We will definitely do this again.
