Fun morning kayaking!

Great morning kayaking with our guide Paddy! Paddy was very informative with all the history and facts of the area. We even got to see a few dolphins on our tour.

Paddle on Broad Creek

I did a 2 hour tour with Kelly W yesterday. It was a great experience! Kelly was so informative about all the nature aspects of Broad Creek including the oysters, birds, grass and mud. It was a little windy but she steered us to places where the wind did not affect us as much. She also knew where we should paddle to see dolphins and we did see some! Overall one of the best trips I have taken with Outside

Outside with Kelly

Kelly Wiggins was our guide. She did an excellent job of blending information specific to the wild life found on our trip as well as explanations about tides, water and local facts. We were able to paddle at a leisurely pace taking in all the beauty around us. Kelly was careful to include our interests while selecting paths to paddle. I would highly recommend her.

Kayak Guided Tour

The nature 2 hour guided tour was very informative, relaxing, and full of things to see! Our guide John Markisz was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. This is a great way to break up the beach/pool routine during your stay.

Chill, Slow Paced, Informative Kayak Experience

weather was perfect (80°F) which no doubt enhanced the experience. price was good for the length of the excursion. the guide was knowledgeable. if you are looking to go freestyle and do your own thing, this probably isn't the kayak experience you are looking for. it is very chill and slow paced. informative. a good option for beginners to see parts of the island you won't find anywhere else.
