We had a blast on our kayak tour. We took our 2 teenage daughters and they thought it was great as well. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept our group entertained. It was a great night! Definitely an experience you want to have in your lifetime.

10 out of 5 stars! My partner and I rented a tandem kayak from the very friendly, helpful, and informative staff and we had an amazing time. We saw all sorts of wildlife: baby turtles, ducklings, egrets, and blue herons! The only thing I wish I’d done differently is booked a longer experience! 1 hour is great, but 2 would have been amazing… Next time!

An excellent tour overall. Our guide was knowledgeable, gave great local history, allowed the kids to have fun and stay safe. Easy to work with and very responsive when I had questions. I would gladly take another kayaking tour!

Our guide did an awesome job leading the group and giving out information. Enjoyed a leisurely paddle to the bridge to observe the bats! The viewing was superior to any other vantage point. The paddle back also had awesome views of the skyline lit up in the darkness.

I brought an out-of-town friend here to go paddleboarding and it ended up being her favorite part of her trip! It was our first time and customer service was so friendly and helpful in ensuring we were comfortable on the boards. Super relaxing way to spend an afternoon!
