Fun for kids! - Tommy and Pete were awesome! We went with four adults and four kids, ages 11, 9, 7, and 6. The kids definitely needed an adult with them, not because the water is difficult to navigate (it's not--it's very shallow and gentle), but just because I don't think their arms could take it! We stopped at two sandbars and found amazing shells with crabs and sand dollars. We also stopped on a beach under the bridge and the kids had a great time swinging out over the water. Highly recommend!

Definitely a fun experience for the whole family. - Wonderful time, and Tommy was a great guide!! Would definitely do again, and would recommend. We had a group of 9 and Tommy was very patient and understanding that each person was at a different level with kayaking. We booked very late the night before and Tommy was accommodating to our late booking.
