The guides here consistently earn praise for their deep knowledge and genuine enthusiasm. Josh stands out in multiple reviews for his exceptional patience and ability to answer endless wildlife questions, making him particularly wonderful with children who need extra attention. Chandler, Matt, and Ben also get specific shoutouts for their expertise in local history, science, and safety. The staff creates a welcoming atmosphere where even first-time kayakers feel comfortable and well-instructed. Beyond the excellent guided tours, visitors also rave about the self-guided rental options that let you explore Shem Creek at your own pace. Dolphin sightings are common, and one group even found over 300 shark teeth on a sandbar excursion. The equipment is well-maintained, and the location itself offers beautiful scenery whether you're paddling at sunrise or during the day. It's become a go-to spot for repeat visitors who appreciate the combination of friendly service, solid instruction, and memorable time on the water.
My friend and I came here for a little vacay fun and we are so glad we did! Charlie was our guide and he made the experience so memorable and fun and was very knowledgeable about everything around us. Would absolutely recommend this tour for anyone coming to visit and if I’m ever back in town will absolutely be coming back!
