What a blast!! Bringing our dogs kayaking at Ayers Creek Adventure was the highlight of our trip! Glen was so kind and gave us great instructions. He was patient as we introduced our dogs to the kayak and switched rowers! They have a great mounting and dismounting platform that made it easy for beginners to get in and out. Sooooo much fun. read more

We paddled with Ayers Creek Adventures on a recent weekend for their once-monthly (season permitting) full moon kayak tour. Both Steve and Suzie are excellent, friendly and accommodating hosts and really know their way around this waterway. You embark from right behind their property with quality equipment and a really informative briefing on paddling techniques and boat launching. They use a special boat launch device where you can step off a dock directly into the boat without having to enter the actual water...nice to stay dry! The paddle itself took us along this intercoastal (brackish water) waterway where we saw some really interesting wildlife including many bird varieties and even some muskrats (we may have interrupted them making baby muskrats...sorry Mr. & Mrs.!!!). Coolest part of the wildlife tour was seeing two separate bald eagle nests, both with eaglets inside! Those nests are soooo huge, like 300 pounds and several feet wide! After returning from the 2 hour-ish paddle, Steve and Suzie fired up their firepit to offer us both warmth and a place to have a cookout! We brought along drinks, hot dogs and all the fixings for s'mores and shared them around the group. It was fun getting to know folks a bit better and again the owners were the perfect hosts for the entire adventure. I cannot recommend Ayers Creek Adventures more highly...give them a try for a really fun and unique experience while in the area! read more

My family and I went kayaking for the first time ever at Ayers Creek Adventures. We were greeted by Glen who gave us a rundown on how to prepare for the adventure. Then Wyatt and Jeremy showed us how to maneuver in the water and led us through a scenic route pointing out birds and sharing other interesting information about the area. They were also super encouraging when we were tired and running into trees and rocks (no injuries or damage! Just your basic first-timer mistakes). We'd love to come back on our next summer vacation! read more

Ayers Creek Adventures - Rafting/Kayaking Near Me - Berlin, Maryland

I've been visiting OC for years but recently realized there's so much more to visiting than inside the city limits. One of those places is Ayers Creek Adventures. Tucked away in Berlin just minutes over the Rt 50 bridge, it's worth the drive over. Rebecca (I hope I spelled that correctly) was our tour guide and was great. My daughters, ages 8 and 5, got to experience their first time on a canoe. Rebecca was very patient with us and while we only saw a few species of birds and a few jumping fish, she told us a lot about the history and area. We will definitely be back and maybe try the kayaks at that time. read more

We did the Sunset Tour as first time kayakers and it was outstanding. My daughters, (17 and 21) and I enjoyed the entire trip and our guide, Patrick was amazing. He was laid back but gave you confidence on the water. We learned quite a bit about the wildlife and the preserves. We definitely plan to do this again! Also, I liked the owners attention to safety due to threatening storms . Top notch on safety! Highly recommend! read more

Along with the salt marsh wildlife we saw (eagles, terns, herons, etc.), one fabulous feature of the sunset tour was the peace and tranquility of being out on the water in a kayak. No noise, no gas fumes, just a paddle, beautiful surroundings, and then moon rise. Heartily recommend! read more

Looking for something to do? Steve and Suzie accommodate all ages and experiences with kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. The prices are great, and the scenery never disappoints. Their equipment is top notch, and they also offer regular tours if you don't want to go out alone. Head out to the left from the launch and you can have a leisurely hour-long paddle in a quiet backwater -- look for both blue and green herons and great egrets. Head out to the right for a more challenging trip, and paddle as long as you like in the open marsh's tidal waters. You may see sanderlings, sandpipers, even curlews hunting out on the flats. read more

There is no way to put into words what an awesome experience my two sons and I had on the guided salt marsh tour. Our guides, Suzy and Steve, were very knowledgeable about the wetlands. We saw bald eagles and terns. This was the second outing one of my son's has been on and was the first for myself and other son. We will definitely be back to go on the forest tour. The personal touch Steve and Suzy gave our outing was so much worth it! read more

My group and I had an amazing time on the creek with Susie! The tour leaves from the beautiful property she and Steve own and have established their business on. Boats, paddles, and life jackets were ready, and they were able to accommodate a last minute change of kayak on the spot with no problem. Susie provided user-friendly paddling instructions all ages could follow. Through the tour, Susie provided touches of ecological info pertinent to the area, but in a friendly, interesting way. She also checked in with each boat in our group and provided encouragement as needed. She was really good with my kids and shared more even info about the birds and wildlife we saw with my child who has a great interest in animals. The creek itself is gorgeous and relatively easy to paddle. The 1.5 hour tour was just right. This was a great way to explore the area. I hope to come back next summer and kayak again! read more

awesome experience, they were super nice and helpful. The creek is a perfect, relaxing kayak trip

We had the best time with Suzy on our guided salt marsh tour! There was a group of 8 of us, all with different paddle abilities. She made the trip very easy and comfortable for everyone. During our tour, she was a fountain of knowledge about the wildlife and the environment. We saw a bald eagle and nest, cormorant, egrets, ducks, gulls, you name it! I wish we could have floated around and paddled all day. I say floated because my shoulders can only paddle so much! It was a relaxing, peaceful, educational trip with an arm workout thrown in. I highly recommend taking part in one of their tours for a unique, enjoyable experience. read more

This was our 1st time kayaking and rebecca made it the best experience we could have asked for. Cant wait till we go back. read more

I have never been in a kayak before so renting one for 4 hrs with the family was a bit daunting. Suzie was fabulous with orienting us to the kayak and the creek. She gave suggestions and was helpful. I had a fabulous time and ready to go back. The views were amazing and the ride peaceful. The scenery and animal watching were fabulous. I loved it! read more

I called this morning after randomly finding a review talking about them. Last minute decision to kayak for the first time...And to throw a loop in...I brought my pup. I heard a "closed for the season greeting" and left a message with slim hope of getting a same day call back. Literally 10 minutes later my phone rings and I'm setting up a time to go. The property is just stunning...The owner couldn't be more friendly and I loved sweet magnum. The experience was so beautiful on a cloudless, gorgeous morning during my birthday week. I can't wait to come back and hopefully be more skilled. Jackson will be happy to get play time in with magnum too! read more

We called and left a message, shortly after we received a call back. We discussed the different tours available since we are only in town for a couple of days. We booked a kayak tour for the two of us. We arrived and Suzy was our guide for the afternoon trip. She went over the basics reminders of padding with my wife. We went out and Suzy was very informative and helpful telling us about the Forested Wetlands Exploration she was taking us on. The entire trip telling us about the area, and the wildlife. It was a windy day but we had a fantastic time and absolutely will go again when in the area. We highly recommend them and they are a must go if you are interested in a relaxing kayak tour! They do from small groups and larger groups up to 40 or so people on a trip if you have a large group of friends, family to go with. Call them to ask the full details! You will not be disappointed! read more

Great time. Saw 4 Bald Eagles and 2 Bald eagles nest.

Location is absolutely beautiful. We had an hour rental, but I would definitely recommend a longer rental to be able to explore all the coves and hidden spots along the creek. There were so many beautiful birds to see along the way. Truly stunning. Staff was very friendly and launched our group of 8 (+2 dogs) very quickly. I have kayaked at several locations between OC and Chincoteaugue, this was by far my favorite. Can't wait to visit again on my next trip. read more

The owner lied about use of the lake and then insulted us. Never going back.

We did a wetlands tour with Rebecca. Got to see lots of bald eagles and wildlife and was very enjoyable. She did a great job and this tour was well worth the money. Highly recommend this place. Multiple tour guides that allows their operation to have good last minute availability. Can't go wrong with these guys. read more

Had a great outing at Ayers Creek Adventures. Only regret was not staying out there longer. They have Wilderness series kayaks which are very stable with wide open cockpits so you will not feel confined. The boats are great for the seasoned as well as novice paddler. Suzy the owner was more than accommodating and very nice as well. She provided us with everything we needed for our adventure. If back in the area again I would definitely rent from them again as they are a first class operation with great boats and customer service... also a very cool chocolate lab. read more

Fantastic experience. Guid was very patient with us first timers and the scenery was beautiful!

Beautiful spot to Kayak on Ayers Creek! Suzy was so knowledgeable about bald eagles. We saw 2 mature bald eagles and 3 juveniles in 2 different nests. Suzy has eagle eyes. If you're looking for an interesting, laid back outing with a really nice person, go with Suzy and Ayers Creek. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and took us last-minute. Lovely chill way to absorb the landscape. Great experience!

Ayers Creek Adventures is by far the best place to kayak or paddle board in the Ocean City area! The water is calm and the views are breathtaking! I went SUP boarding for the first time there last week and Suzy, the owner, gave me tips to make my first time fun and successful! The next day I went with friends and we all had a great time with the paddle boards. We all felt the boards were nice and steady. Suzy and her staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! They pointed out where we could see wildlife and we did spot a bald eagle. We booked one of their Eco tours for next week. Can't wait for that experience. read more

Took the sunrise tour lead by Suzy. Well priced, great views, lots of birds and crab activity. Very peaceful, calm, and recharging. Good for families and solos too! Definitely a fun change of pace from 'eat, beach, drink.' read more

Excellent SUP and kayak experience! Suzy and Steven were so helpful in setting us up for a wonderful morning. Ayers Creek is beautifully peaceful, the perfect environment for paddle boarding and kayaking. We have tried several places in OC for this type of activity, Ayers Creek Adventures is by far the best! read more

Absolutely, fantastic!!! We took the sunset kayaking trip. It was so tranquil and beautiful. Our guide was extremely knowledgable. We saw two bald eagles. The sunset was amazing and the full moon guide us back. When we got back, we enjoyed wine, cheese, and desserts. What a phenomenal experience! read more

My wife and I showed up with no appointment and were immediately taken care of. Suzy is way AWESOME, a great guide, we learned so much about the area...we did the fresh water tour, saw a bald eagle in addition to other wildlife. Suzy also took our pic then sent it to us through email. We will most def be going back for the salt water tour. read more

We enjoyed our trip to Ayers Creek Adventures. We were welcomed and ready for the water in minutes. The kayaks were roomy and cut through the water. There was not a lot to see (we saw birds) for the two teens that were with me. The $40 for $50 coupon worked well and we were settled quickly. I would recommend Ayers Creek Adventures for anyone looking for a peaceful location to kayak. read more

Great family activity, reasonably priced, friendly owner. Great place for children to learn about kayaking too.

Ayers Creek Adventures is - probably - the best place to kayak near Ocean City. I say probably because they are the only tour group there I've been on but they blew away my expectations. I've kayaked a bit around the area; mostly in the bay and the St. Martin's river. What you will see there is mostly the backyards of houses and lots of boat traffic. Ayers creek, on the other-hand, is absolutely gorgeous. We went on the sunset kayak tour with our guide (and owner) Steven. He has a background working for the EPA and lives on the property itself, so he is extremely knowledgeable about the area. On our trip we saw a variety of wildlife including bald eagles, great blue herons, osprey, ducks, and muskrat. Ayers creek is fair-sized, meandering creek through isolated marshland. Beyond the marsh grass and tree lines there is not much besides farmland. On our paddle we didn't see any other people or boats. We had the creek to ourselves, and the quiet and natural surroundings made it really special as we watched the sun set to the sound of cicadas and crickets. Our 3-mile, 2 1/2 hour paddle was very relaxing and could be done by people of any skill level. If you are looking to kayak or canoe near OC, I cannot recommend Ayers Creek Adventures enough. read more

Fun sunset tour. Lots of wild life. Bald eagles and herons. The guide knew a lot of about the area and was full of fun information.

We did a weekend kayak trip. They couldn't have been more helpful or nicer. I will definitely be doing another trip and using them.

We decided to go out on an kayaking adventure while visiting Ocean City. This was a very different experience from the touristy places that you'll find closer to the bay & OC. You'll truly be out in nature. It was an awesome experience to see bald eagles and plenty of other birds. Suzy was great. She is relaxed, efficient and full of knowledge about the local area and wildlife. Our guided tour was in no way rushed and we were able to go at our own pace. It was relaxing and a good time. read more

Our group of nine went on the salt marsh tour. The outing exceeded our expectations. The kids and adults loved the tour. We will definitely return on our next visit to OC. read more

Love this place. Staff is so friendly. Great location. We have kayaked and paddle boarded there. Highly recommend!

Best day of our vacation! We did the Woodland tour and it is was fun for us as beginners. Well worth the cost and it is a short drive from Ocean City. read more
