Paddle Out is great for paddle boarding or kayaking in the Manasquan River, without the hassle or…read morecost of owning your own equipment. Whether you are experienced or a beginner you will have a great experience. They have guided tours or you can rent the equipment hourly. I chose to take my daughter paddle boarding for $20 per hour. The paddle boards were clean and in excellent condition. The water in the river is fairly calm, especially during the week when most of the boats are docked. This isn't my kind of swimming water (very murky due to all the boats and jellies) but you can definitely hop on/off your board to cool off. You can make a reservation online but walk-ups are welcome. Just fill out the waiver online to move things along quickly. There is a paid parking lot or plenty of street parking.

I ordered a Nucanoe Frontier 12 on May 14th and was told that it would be 3-4 weeks or less...most…read morelikely 2 weeks. I paid in full and West Creek Kayak and Canoe said that they would contact me when it arrived...5 weeks later and nothing. No call. No e-mail. No update. So I call them today to ask what's going on...and it turns out that they NEVER EVEN ORDERED IT!!! I have a receipt and yet they never even called to order the kayak!?!? This business must be in trouble because they sure remembered to take my money!! So now summer is half over and I'm left with nothing plus I have to wait another month for it to arrive?!? The guy I spoke to and ordered from on May 14th (Glenn) had an awful attitude and offered no apology. In fact, everyone in this place talked down to me. When I asked how or why this happened, they just said nothing. Dead silence. They tried to give me a used kayak until the other one arrived. I told them that I wanted a new one like I ordered and so they just tell me that they ordered it TODAY for me. That was it. At this point, I was done with them. I'm not giving them my business. If I have to wait again, then I'll order it elsewhere. To be honest, as much as I like this Kayak and the Nucanoe brand, dealing with the young guy from Nucanoe today was awful too. He just wanted to blame West Creek Kayak and kept cutting me off. They work together selling Nucanoe products. SOMETHING could have been done to make this right. Customer service from the West Creek Kayak AND Nucanoe SUCKED today. I'm thinking of another brand just because of this one experience. It's a shame too because Blake from Nucanoe was great every time I contacted them and I was excited to use this product. Oh well. Long story short, I called the credit card company and got my money back. AVOID WEST CREEK KAYAK AND CANOE AT ALL COSTS. If this is the way that they do business, then they won't be around for very long.

We found this kayak/jet ski rental place on www.funnewjersey.com. A double kayak is $35 for 2 hours ($37.45 with tax) and jet skis are $70 for 1/2 hour ($100 for 45 minutes). You can save an additional $5 if you print and bring this coupon: http://www.route72waverunner.com/specials It takes about 2 hours to go around Cedar Bonnet lsland in Barnegat Bay. You pass by wet lands and under the Route 72 Causeway (bridge) twice. Be sure to put sunscreen on and beware of the jet skiers and boats (although the jet skis are going faster, the boats create a bigger wake). Your GPS will tell you that you have arrived at Causeway Boat Rentals, but keep driving until you get to the end of the road to find Route 72 Waverunner & Kayak. Be sure to check out Mud City (make a right at the light and right at the stop sign) for a late seafood lunch / early dinner.

While kayaking is a great activity to enjoy while social distancing, everybody had the same idea and the place was packed! Even though we made a reservation, we had to wait about an hour to ride the bus to the send off point and the bus drive made us all a little anxious to say the least. Bathrooms and life jackets seemed to be well kempt but the waits to go to and from the office and parking lot location were super long and made all the guests very unruly and restless. There aren't too many people on staff assisting you when actually kayaking so if you are a pure beginner, I recommend you come with experienced company or you might spend a lot of time hitting logs and tree branches. The view of the kayaking trails aren't too scenic but rather just peaceful. Imagine yourself immersed in the woods in murky water. They are also dog friendly but just in the way that they allow dogs, nothing too special at that. Also, parking gets limited after 9:30 AM so leave your house sooner than you planned!

I have booked with White Water Challengers before and was excited to return because of the great…read moreexperiences I have had in the past. Unfortunately, our recent trip with a group of six was extremely frustrating due to the organization and scheduling. Our original time slot was changed because there were not enough groups, which we understood. However, our new 10:20 time slot was expanded to accommodate additional groups, and we were then required to wait an extended period for a very large group that arrived late. As a result, we did not begin rafting until after 12:15, and the safety review had to be rushed because of the delay. Throughout the trip, our group was repeatedly forced to stop and wait for the late group, who frequently fell out of their raft and struggled to follow the safety instructions. I estimate we spent close to an hour collectively waiting along the river. Even the group scheduled after ours eventually passed us, and we did not return to the bus until shortly after 5:00. I want to emphasize that Olivia, Bailey, Kristen, and Sid were excellent guides and did their best under difficult circumstances. My frustration is entirely with the organization and scheduling of the trip. Additionally, while this was outside of anyone's control, we paid for Class II and III rapids, but the river flow that day was approximately 820 CFS, making the experience much closer to Class I and II. I hope you will take this feedback seriously, as this experience was significantly different from the positive experiences that led me to book with White Water Challengers again.

Unless you are medically unfit, you can do this. Exceptional customer service sums up the team at Jim Thorpe River Adventures (aka LOC). They are extremely well organized which makes for a great trip. Everyone from the moment you enter LOC until the very end was polite, professional and wanted to make sure you have a great time. Some tips to follow: you only need to arrive 15 minutes before your group time, this allows ample time to get situated. Buy their pre-made lunch, it is well worth the 10 bucks, bring extra water on the raft (especially in the summer). Use the bathroom before you get on the bus (and be quick). They give you a dry bucket for your lunch and items, yes you can bring your phone in a dry pouch. Wear a hat and a sun shirt, it is hot and sunny, without much shade. Jump in the water when you have the chance !! If you are a "full figured" person it will be difficult to re-enter the raft, be aware. The trip down river is very safe and well organized. The guides are VERY safety aware ! If you are nervous and listen to them, the team will get you down the river without a hitch ! A few suggestions: don't go on a busy holiday weekend, it can get crowded on the river, the safety briefing takes a long time and you a sitting in the sun (remove your vest and drink water), during July and August I would imagine the water is very low and slow (if it is a dry summer)...best only if you want to have a relaxing rafting trip. Overall, a bunch of fun. The entire family had a great time.
