    Justin and Laurie run a welcoming kayaking operation that consistently delivers memorable marsh and island tours. Their guides, including Justin, Clark, Diego, and Laurie, are praised for being knowledgeable about local wildlife and sharing fascinating details about birds, crabs, horseshoe crabs, and other creatures along the way. The Waties Island trips are particularly popular, offering beautiful scenery, a chance to explore a private beach, and interesting stops like the "oyster wall." Twilight paddles add a special touch with gorgeous sunsets and bioluminescent algae displays. The logistics are hassle-free. They provide quality kayaks and life vests, include shuttle service to the launch point, and handle rescheduling gracefully when weather doesn't cooperate. Tours typically last about 2.5 hours with time to swim, shell, or explore the island. First-timers feel comfortable with the patient instruction, and repeat customers keep coming back year after year. One reviewer mentioned a guide with poor English and vague instructions that led to minor navigation issues, but this seems to be an isolated experience amid overwhelmingly positive feedback about the personable, informative guides who make the trips both educational and fun.

    Absolutely fantastic time! Being on the water was both relaxing and educational. Justin is a top-notch guide: Lots of fun while keeping us safe. He shared excellent information about the flora and fauna we spotted around Waties Island--taking photos during the trip was a bonus. Highly recommend and will definitely book again when we are in the area.
