Kayak - The trip was beautiful. People were so nice they got to us quickly. We really had a great time. The man who put our boat in and out of the water, was great with everyone around him.

Great Rental Equipment - Great people to work with. Equipment is in great shape and reasonably priced. If I didn't have my own kayak and live on the sound I would definitely try one of their tours. Just talking to them I know they are very knowledgeable and the tour would be fun. Enjoy

Quiet and peaceful - It was a simple and quiet experience needed. Ages 53 to 7 in our group and we all loved it. We will definitely do this again.

Relaxing - Kayaks are a little old but the girls who helped get us going were super friendly. We were the only ones on the water during our time so it was very relaxing and we could go at our own pace. Saw a couple turtles, some ducks, and a blue heron on our adventure. Very peaceful.

Calm waters - Enjoyed the calm waters and seeing the only covered bridge in the OBX! We only met 2 other travelers on the water and they were both extremely courteous. At first you pass privately owned docks but after just a bit, you get into the quiet with only nature!

Kayaking - The views on the way was nice, but all equipment is old. The staff was friendly but 2 hours were much for this.

Swindled - They failed to provide the requested kayaks on the first day of the three day rental period. Was told someone should be there to receive the kayaks. No kayaks by 9:00am as promised. Called and told by noon - no kayaks. Called again and told they had till 3:00pm to provide them but should be there by 5:00pm. No kayaks. Kayak's were eventually delivered to a neighbors' house. The address was clearly marked on both units so it would be hard to confuse them. Ordered "sit-in" kayaks but got seaweed covered "ride-on-tops." Contacted office several times to express my dissatisfaction with the products and service but received nothing but hollow apologies and a phantom number to call. "Manager" never returned my calls. Was charged full price for a three day rental for "sit-in" kayaks even though we only had them two days and "ride-on-tops" are less expensive to rent according to their website. They did not provide the services they promised on their website and their customer service is truly awful. Use them at your own risk....
