5.00This was the best kayak excursion we have experienced. Nolan was a phenomenal guide! He was very knowledgeable and we loved his sense of humor. We had a large group and he kept us all safe while making it a lot of fun. Lia was also great! She got us all ready to go and made us an awesome lunch. Thanks for a great time! We would surely do it again.

5.00Unbelievable experience, Team had to pivot on the route due to higher than normal winds. But didn't phase them. Knowledgeable, professional and fun. I have been in their shoes before and appreciate the time they took to assist me and the group. Would highly recommend and better yet would go with them in the future

5.00My husband and I kayak frequently, and we were quick to notice how prepared the staff is. From spare hats and healthy picnic foods to paddles with arrows showing which side is up. We did the sunset paddle and it was stunning. The guides took tons of photos for our group.
Surpassed my hopes! Epic!

5.00What an epic activity! So glad my Smithsonian Journeys trip included the option to sea kayak with this company. Completely exceeded my expectations as the guides were amazing people, so experienced and able to address anything that came up, beyond entertaining, and kind. Loved the delicious eggplant sandwich picnic and time to swim/ snorkel! They also had jackets for a layer of warmth if needed and hats for the sun—totally unexpected. Very memorable.
