5.00A great time kayaking the weather was in this low 70s and it was perfect. I wish we could’ve seen a little bit more marine life but that’s up to them right…. Kevin did a fantastic job very patient. Loved going to the beach and shelling!! one tiny suggestion would be having a little bit more of a break the first round of kayaking I was a little slower than the rest of them so I never got a break. I had to catch . But other than that, it was a perfect day.
Perfect day for kayaking!

5.00Had a wonderful day kayaking with Island Breeze at Big Hickory pass on Wednesday afternoon! Though it was only in the low 70's it was perfect weather, not too cold, and the beach had some great shelling. Would definitely go again with this company.
Great time for the whole family!

5.00We had a great time, even with the cooler weather. Kevin was a great tour guide - knowledgeable and personable. My kids (8 & 10) did great and my folks (in their 70's) really enjoyed it too! Joey even made a great recommendation for dinner at the Fish House!

5.00We had a great day on the water with our guide, Kevin. He shared facts and info as we moved through the waterways and mangroves. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.
Great afternoon on the water.

5.00Joey’s communication about where to meet and timelines was great right from signing up. The meeting spot was easy to find and Joey and staff were welcoming. Paddling was easy and the guide pointed out wildlife and other important things along the trip. Shelling on the beach was cool. Loved that they provided a mesh bag to borrow for shelling then even had “to-go” baggies upon return. We would definitely recommend this little excursion.

5.00We had a fun time on our 2.5 hour guided kayak tour. The weather was perfect and we got to see a dolphin. Kevin was our guide and he did a good job. Definitely add at least 45 minutes to your travel time. The traffic getting to the starting point was crazy. It took us 35 minutes to go 11 miles. Overall a fun time!
