Like A Dream - The trip was about 90 min but it went buy so fast! We did get to see a dolphin, a lot of various birds, fish jumping, and oyster shells on banks! The grass growing through the water is so beautiful, it is a somewhat surreal experience, or maybe that's just me!

Amazing!!! - Awesome!! One of our favorite activities during our vacation! The kayaks are ocean kayaks, so very stable and good for all levels, we had people who never kayaked and people who kayaked a lot—it was good for everyone. Our guide, Cindy, was amazing! She was good at teaching everyone how to kayak and she was very knowledgeable, friendly and fun!! We saw lots of different wildlife and the highlight was when the dolphins swam over to visit us! The 90 minutes went fast, I would have stayed for another 90! It was great! 10 out of 10!

Kayak Broad Creek - My two teenagers and I had a wonderful experience kayaking with Alli and Rebecca. They knew the history of the area and the wildlife really well. Made sure everybody stayed safe and had a good time.

Lovely time on the water - Allison was a delight. We saw lots of wildlife and appreciated her knowledge of the area. When my daughter needed some help navigating the swift waters Allison was quick to jump in and help. She made her feel so comfortable and wiped the embarrassment away.

Had a Great Time kayaking Broad Creek - My wife and I did the Eco Tour with Cindy. Got an earful of great information on the area and its ecology, some history, food suggestions, and general info on some of the property owners in Wexford and Long Cove that have influenced our living. Saw a bunch of dolphins. We kayaked on Broad Creek which isn't necessarily scenic. I would have preferred some more intimate lagoons and marshy areas but we had a great time. Next time we'll consider the Creek Cat tour. Thanks LCWS.

Great outing! - This was our 2nd time doing this tour, and it remained lots of fun. We didn't see dolphins, but we saw lots of birds and crabs and learned about the local ecosystem. Our guide, Ali, was great. Our oldest son (14) has his own single kayak for the first time, which was fine but challenging. Our youngest son (11) went in a double kayak with me.

Pleasant guide, but not a lot of info. - Our guide was very friendly and pleasant! Glad we saw a dolphin otherwise I would have been disappointed. The Kyaking was a little rough and not a lot to see, so glad we saw a dolphin even though the guide said it was unlikely. Didn’t get much in the form of info about what we were seeing.
