5Outstanding
Gavin was knowledgeable and extremely personable. Would highly recommend
5Gavin was a stupendous guide!
We thoroughly enjoyed lazily kayaking down the kitty hawk marshland. Gavin provided some interesting facts about the flora and fauna in this area. His enthusiasm was contagious! He also recommended checking out the Sandy Run Park where we observed yellow-bellied sliders and alligator snapping turtles. It was a great 1/2 mile walking park, mostly on boardwalk. Thanks, Gavin!
5Fun Experience with Family!
Our family including 3 young children had a great experience! Gavin did a great job leading our group with interesting historical references, pointing out wildlife, answering lots of questions from the kids, etc. Highly recommend!! 👍👍
5A wonderful, peaceful day on the water.
What a fantastic few hours we had with Gavin as our guide! He is knowledgeable and fun and kind. You feel like you’ve known him for a long time. I highly recommend this tour and Gavin in particular.
5Kayak tour
Great time, guide was very knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely recommend these kayak trips
5Beautiful + relaxing experience!
Highly recommend! Our guide Gavin was super friendly, very knowledgeable about the area, and told some great stories. We saw beautiful birds and were the only kayakers on the water when we went in the morning. The water was in a protected area surrounded by trees, and we had zero wind! Thanks Gavin for the awesome experience!
