I love to kayak (even though I am still a novice) I have never experience kayaking at night. What a beautiful experience it was to see the sun set and the lights were cool. The tour was pure peace and beauty. Justin also shared kayak brand recommendations to me, as I've been researching them for months on and off. A special thank you to Justin and Laurie for helping to make our trip even more enjoyable. I look forward to visiting again when in the area.

I did my research ahead of time and knew they were what I was looking for. I wanted a sunrise kayak by experienced people who will not sell me gimmick and promises, just straight up the service I want and preferably a private tour. This last bit, of course, seemed impossible so I would have been willing to settle for non-private until I found their services! Yes, private. As small as 2 people in a tour. For us, it was only my husband and I. Shawn and Toni Rae are fantastic people. I booked ahead of time but was told since I wanted an open ocean kayak, the day could change based on tide conditions which is totally understandable for everyone's safety. Fortunately for us, the whole week was open since we were intending to catch the sunrise and there's nothing to do at 5am anyway. The day of, we drove over to their address, signed waivers, left our things for safe keeping at their house and headed to the beach. After getting our kayaks situated and safety instructions were given, including how to enter and exit the ocean safely, we were off. While we've done kayaking plenty of times on lakes, we've only ever done open ocean kayaking once before this time. Yes, it is more difficult and you do need to follow the instructions so you don't hurt yourself or flip your kayak. Shawn and Toni Rae were very helpful and clear with their instructions. He was also close by to make sure my husband and I got on and passed the waves and paddled safely away from the beach. We waited about 15 minutes before sunrise and he took a bunch of beautiful photos and sent them to us. No additional fees for the photos! After the photos, we headed back to shore and successfully made it back safely. The biggest take away from the experience though was that, it was truly exhilarating. We've both been kayaking on the Pacific ocean before by ourselves but I don't think we would have been brave enough to do it in the dark, before daylight. This experience was truly one of a kind and we had the best time!

Best. Experience. Ever!…read more We did the original Escape River Island challenge. I can't even begin to explain how great of an experience we had. You start out by leisurely kayaking 1/2 mile down a river. They have double and single open kayaks. You do step in the water to get in, so wear appropriate shoes! When you get to the wooded challenge location, the guide gives you directions and tells you what to expect. Our team of three were the only ones competing so we were racing against the clock rather than other teams. We completed six different challenges (some physical, some mental). It definitely gave off escape room/Survivor/MTV The Challenge vibes. The owner Jeff and our guide Noah were both very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the overall experience. After unlocking our kayaks in the last challenge, it was a kayak race back to the finish line! My only complaint is they don't have a second challenge that we could sign up and do tomorrow! So so fun. Couldn't recommend more.

Trent and Meghan are passionate about everything they do. They set up a non-profit because they're passionate about training, about the environment, youth programs, safety, you name it. I went with 2 of my sisters in law, 1 of which I've paddleboarded with before, and the other was pretty nervous since she had never done it before. All 3 of us left the day sad it ended, ready to do it again, and big fans of Carolina Waterman. They take tons of professional grade pictures during the excursion, at no cost, and will post them on Facebook along with sending you a google drive of them. That's a crazy good added bonus!!! Go look at their Facebook page and you'll see their work. The reserve is beautiful - clean, calm waters, and you get a glimpse into the ecosystem and the animals that breed and grow up there. They can tell you stories about specific animals and their habits etc. Pretty cool. These folks are providing the community with a great service, you won't regret giving them your business!!

Everyone in our group named our standup paddleboard outing as the highlight of our vacation. Our group was three adults (mom, dad, teen) and three kids (10, 9, 6). All three adults ended up paddling and so did my 10 year old daughter (very athletic, good balance and very confident). My 9 year old rode on the front of daddy's paddleboard, and my six year old rode on the front of Trent's board. Highlights: Trent had us fitted to our boards and paddles, briefed on paddling and safety and out on the river in no time. The site of the tour is beautiful and Trent shares his knowledge of the area and the wildlife. Trent is FANTASTIC with kids. My six year old was wiggly & chatty and Trent was a natural with her. He was very encouraging with my 10 year old who was growing tired toward the end of the outing. Other good stuff: Trent answers emails quickly, the online scheduling tool is easy to use, and he takes pictures of your group during your trip and emails them to you. Overall a wonderful experience! We will definitely be going again!
