This kayak tour had only...

This kayak tour had only 4 of us. It was relaxing paddling through a small portion of the spartina salt marsh. Information shared about the area was very limited. Some knowledge of grasses and birds. Very little historical information. Our guide was very young, inexperienced. She did a good job on the dock giving simple kayak instructions. On the water no guidance was given to help the inexperienced tandem kayakers we were with. Overall, this tour was not of value and we would not recommend this particular tour. We would recommend any tour with Dean!

Great morning tour!

We did the low tide morning tour. It was nice bcs it was cooler and you could see the oysters and more layers of the ecosystem. A high tide tour would allow you to explore the smaller tributaries.
