No Reservations but still able to accommodate party of 10. - I recently had a great experience with Mike's Coastal Expeditions. Our group of ten arrived at their launch point near Big Hickory Island as walk-ups without reservations, and the staff was polite and accommodating. They quickly outfitted us and had us in the water in no time. Their efficiency and friendliness made for an enjoyable outing. I highly recommend Mike's Coastal Expeditions for a smooth and fun adventure!

We got to kayak a few miles and see dolphins - It was great the last time was 3pm but they let us go a little after 3 so we could go have fun! They made it very enjoyable by letting us go out on our own and gave us a map to help

We got to paddle to a little beach where we found many cool shells, and we got to see some cool birds! We were provided! - Mikes rentals was so much fun! Me and my two friends rented a double clear kayak and a paddle board and it was something fun to do instead of laying at the beach!

Paddle board rentals - Great paddle board rental! They give you a dry bag to use for your belongings and a helpful map of the channels. Put the board in the water for me and took it out.
