The Cape Cod Explorer tour operates within Popponesset Bay, Popponesset River, and Mashpee River. It is a beautiful route that has so many natural highlights including the Popponesset Spit. It is fed from Nantucket sound. Since it is contained in the bay the water is consistently flat and perfect for all levels. There is a amazing amount of bird activity, wildlife, and overall nature to view throughout our tour. This area consists of salt water, brackish water, and fresh water so the variation of plant and wildlife is astounding!
A beautiful white sand barrier beach that is only accessible with a boat, kayak, or board. This is a protected area and we consider ourselves ambassadors of our environment and it is everyone's job to protect it.

We had the best time on this adventure. Simon our tour guide was wonderful. He was personable, knowledgeable and made our day wonderful. This was a delightful kayaking trip and we got to see lots of wildlife including osprey, blue heron, snowy egret, and green heron. Simon explained so much to us about the area, wildlife, vegetation etc which we really enjoyed learning about! I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone.

Our tour guide, Kyle, was great! He gave great tips for handling a windy day on the paddleboard, shared information on the birds we saw, and just made the whole experience relaxing and fun. Highly recommend!

We had the two nicest guides. Mike and Kian were amazing!! They were so familiar with the wildlife and so helpful to teach us the basics. They even helped guides us for other things we can do locally. They were the best guides we could have hoped to get!

The instructions- assisting with getting in / out of the boats- explaining the habitat and pointing out nature along the way. Walking the beach for a break - laughter - calming moment s - Tammie was a wonderful guide! She ensured we were safe along our journey and created an experience that took one who never kayaked to one who now wants to paddle more!

Although we generally prefer wilderness kayaking, it was fun to paddle in this lovely area and imagine living in one of the beautiful waterfront homes. Our guide was delightful and we made a pleasing circuit of the area. Seeing nesting osprey was a privilege.

We had a great time. Calm water and easy paddling. Our guide was excellent. We actually finished in about 1 hour 40 minutes, so maybe a little pricey for the time.
