A Fun Morning on the Water...with Paddy - We took a 2 hour kayak tour and had a great time. Paddy Kleiman was our tour guide and he was fantastic. Explained how to use the oars, helped us get in/out of the kayak and gave us a great tour explaining about the salt marsh, oyster beds, plum/puff, wildlife, dolphin and lots of interesting things about the water and marshes. He took photos and emailed them to us shortly after our trip. And, the kayaking wasn't hard or strenuous. A great way to spend a few hours with my son and granddaughter while they visited us in HH.

Informative and Fun - Grace was our tour guide. She was very informative, interactive and fun. The tour was long enough but not too long. There were people of all ages in our group and everyone seemed to have a great time. It didn't hurt that the weather was beautiful as well.

Great Time ! - We took the 2 hour Guided Kayak Nature Tour and had a great time! Yes, we saw dolphins! Also, birds and plenty of oysters (don't pet!). Our guide was Sarah and she was awesome! She told us a lot about the eco system as well as the wildlife. The boats and the equipment were all clean and Sarah went over the basics of kayaking before we shoved off. Would DEFINATELY recommend!

A must for nature enthusiast - My husband and I had an amazing kayak tour during low tide with Helen as our guide. While I have some kayaking experience, my husband had not paddled in 20 years. Helen's clear and detailed instructions were perfect for both our levels. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the marsh and its ecosystem, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. We saw an array of wildlife, including creek dolphins, a roseate spoonbill, and an endangered wood stork, among other birds. The tour was exceptional, and Helen's expertise made it even better. We highly recommend this tour and will definitely request Helen for our next outing. Five stars!

Exciting - We went on the dolphin tour and the guides were extremely friendly. Explained a lot about dolphins and the geography of the place. It was a lot of fun looking out for dolphins and having the opportunity to take pictures.
