Our tour guide was Tre, who was very professional, fully knowledgeable of this craft and friendly. He was very attentive to our needs as this was our "first time" kayaking. We would most definitely recommend this tour. We had lots of fun!

So glad yall had a great time!! Happy 4th of July!!
The guide never showed up for our tour and we were refunded. We did not find out that the tour was canceled until after the time it was supposed to start. Very disappointing.

Great time kayaking and seeing nature at it’s best! Our guide, Nick, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and chill.
Our tour guide was amazing!! The reason for the 2 start was out of his control. First we had no idea we could bring water or anything with us. It was so hot and my kids, my husband and myself were very thirsty by the time we were done. I do not recommend going when it super hot, the water stinks and with no water options you get very overheated.

Thanks Ben!!Glad y'all saw an egret!! We're so stoked that you had a great time with us. If you're ever back on the Outer Banks hit us up!!
It was just a gentle paddle through the canals in the marsh on a nice evening.
We did not really see any wildlife.

Thanks Aubrey!! We usually see wildlife but as in nature and in life, there are no guarantees. We're so stoked that you had a great time with us. If you're ever back on the Outer Banks hit us up!!
Ben was a great tour guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Being amongst the marshes was very cool. It was so neat to explore and see all the wildlife. Our whole family really enjoyed it and of course the sunset was amazing!

Thanks Chris!! Ben is a great guide and we are so lucky to have him!! We're so stoked that you
had a great time with us. If you're ever back on the Outer Banks hit us up!!
The two guides were great! They were informative and very helpful to us. We are an older couple who have never been kayaking and they took it all in stride. One even towed us for a while so we could catch up to the group. The scenery was pretty, although we didn't see any wildlife. All in all it was a very good experience and I would recommend it to everyone.
Great experience! Our tour guide was great and knowledgeable of the area. I believe his name was Liam! We went on the sunset tour and it was beautiful.
Our tour guide was Bella and she was absolutely amazing. We were lucky enough to be the only people on the tour that day. Bella is sweet and funny and she explained how to control the boat very well. she even helped me and my partner capture photos together. 100% recommend!
Ben was a fantastic guide. My 5 y.o. Had a great time kayaking and the sunset views for the 6 p.m tour were breath taking. He also shared the history of the sounds throughout. Thank you Ben for making our Kayaking experience memorable!
Awesome tour! Bella was an amazing tour guide. We were worried about the weather but turned out to be a great day. 🙂
