Our tour guide was Ben. He was amazing. He not only assisted in helping us with our kayak skills (thank goodness) but he brought the goods in knowing the area, showing us the animal life that was available during our tour (bald eagle was a highlight) discussing the environmental impact of past commercial choices and future expansion of more environmental choices. He threw in some History and many, many fun facts. We had an awesome time. No dolphins available to us today but we didn’t miss them- Ben was great! He was the best and made it an awesome time and we learned so much.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I'm thrilled to hear that you had such a great time on the tour and that I could help with your kayaking skills—always happy to lend a hand! It's fantastic that you enjoyed learning about the area's wildlife and the environmental stories that shape our surroundings, and I’m glad the bald eagle sighting was a highlight for you! While the dolphins didn’t make an appearance, I’m so pleased that you still found the experience memorable and informative. It was my pleasure to guide you, share some fun facts, and take you through the unique history of the area. I truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again for more adventures on the water!

Ben was a fantastic guide. He took us back into the oyster fields and was very knowledgeable about the marine life and history of the water in that area. He took us at a nice and easy pace (I am not a kayak enthusiast) and I was very comfortable the whole time. 10/10 would take his tour again!!
