Great Experience Kayaking. Easy booking, helpful and kind staff, and had everything you need to hit the water quick! I really liked that they had accommodations for my 3 year old to kayak with us on a tandem kayak. I highly recommend! Great prices too!

Rachel was a knowledgeable, engaging guide on our kayak tour around Springers Point and through the marshes of Ocracoke. We learned fun facts about the island, and gained new appreciation for the spirit and culture of this magical place! Not even cloudy skies put a damper on our adventure!
