Ben was an excellent guide. Very informative regarding the maritime forest history!! Also gave us some fantastic “local” advice on where to see fireworks on the 4th. Highly recommend!!!!
Great family fun
Joshua_B, Sep 2021
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.
Maritime Wildlife Kayak Tour
Rebecca_P, Sep 2021
I had never been in a Kayak previously. The guide gave instructions prior to
starting out; safety was a priority; we saw a large Egret up close and personal;
the guide was a wealth of knowledge about local wildlife and history. It was
a great tour and well worth the price.

Fun kayak adventure….didn’t get to ‘see’ a lot of wildlife, but it was a good paddle for 13 yr olds up to 73 yr olds! Thanks for the experience!
Great guide
