If you are thinking about doing it… DO It! You won’t regret it - Guides were friendly, funny and were engaged with the group. The Kayaking itself was so much fun mixed with a little workout but not too strenuous. We would definitely do this activity again!

Great way to spend a morning! - Great way to spend a morning. We kayak in the marsh area. Fun trip. Had a few minutes on a secluded beach to wind down during the tour. Our Guide Winn was a wrath of knowledge and got our kayaks through some tight turns. Fun trip! Did the early trip so we were ready for breakfast upon returning! Definitely would do again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Perfect Pace and Beautiful Views - This was such a great experience and one of those activities that allows you to slow down and really appreciate where you are. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, the weather was perfect, and the route took us through some stunning waterways that made the entire trip feel peaceful and relaxing. What I appreciated most was that the tour wasn’t rushed. We were able to take our time, enjoy the views, and paddle at a comfortable pace, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The guides were phenomenal. Not only were they professional and knowledgeable, but they were also incredibly friendly. We had some great conversations along the way, and their patience and customer service truly stood out. They made everyone feel welcome and comfortable, regardless of experience level. If you’re looking for a kayaking excursion with beautiful scenery, great energy, and guides who genuinely care about creating a memorable experience, I highly recommend this tour. I would absolutely do it again.

Get out and explore! - Had a great time kayaking the marsh! My husband and I were on a tandem kayak, which for me was helpful 😁 to maneuver the kayak through the water. Guide was great! Price fair! Great way to see part of the area we've never seen before (30+ yrs of going to MB)

Salt Marsh kayak. - Best adventure. Come for the ocean. But explore the backwaters with Brandon, Josh and crew. Great a experience for all levels of kayak skill. Nice to see another feature of ocean life.
