Our trip with Cocoa Kayaks was wonderful! First, PA is a gorgeous state, and the waterways are beautiful. Second, Mike is an awesome guide in terms of preparing kayakers for what lies along the route and how best to enjoy the trip. His knowledge of the environment and how waterways are impacted is exceptional. We were fortunate to see so many kinds of birds-- herons featured prominently!-- and were so excited when a bald eagle flew along over us to land in a creekside tree! Cocoa Kayaks was wonderfully accommodating and educational and all around a pleasure to do business with.

First time kayaking, Mike was great & the trip was even better! Low water from less rain in the past couple weeks but it was still so much fun. Birders will love this route: eagles, herons, kingfishers & egrets great you all three miles.

The team was AMAZING and the facts before getting on the water were SUPER fascinating to learn about. The paddle itself was very fun with a couple hiccups due to shallow water but overall was extremely enjoyable. Shoutout again to the team for their amazing instructions and happy interactions

The creek is great for bird watching. Saw a bald eagle and 2 other bird species that I have not seen in the wild before, including the Belted Kingfisher. Staff were attentive and informative. Great for beginners. Highly recommend Cocoa Kayaks.
