We've done fresh water kayaking with our current so this was our first experience like this. Easy access in and out. We felt safe and never unattended. They offer guided tours too. About 2.5 hours long. Maybe slightly longer. They provide a map and wet bag to protect out stuff. Lift jackets provided too. Over all great experience! Anyone can definitely do this. First timers or not. Reasonable prices. Check them out!

But after that, it's pristine and lovely. Went to shark tooth island but no luck there. We saw egrets, a heron, hermit crabs, and fish. Incredible natural estuary.

After meeting and speaking with them this morning and working with them to resolve the issues, I will say that I was way out of line. They are both incredibly easy to work with and had to buy it just taken the time to speak and work with them in the first place everything would have been great. I adjust my review to five stars and hope that they will accept my apology and know that I am truly sorry. These folks are really truly great to work with and I highly recommend.

I have purchased two kayaks and two racks as well as accessories from Trusty Sail and Paddle, and could not be happier with my selections. I have also become involved with Trusty's Seniors on the Sound program through its waterfront pedal kayak rental site, and enjoy the fun and fellowship with other senior kayakers along the Morehead City, NC waterfront thanks to the community minded efforts of Trusty Sail and Paddle.

I visited on a warm weekday afternoon between Christmas and New Years and saw only a few other folks out on the trail. There's a big loop that's about 1.5 miles, or you could do a shorter loop. The trail is mostly shaded and quite flat, making it an easy stroll and accessible for kids (including strollers) and people who need low intensity hikes; there are many benches along the way. Many parts are wooden bridges out over the marshland; at the right time of day you can see fiddler crabs in the water. (If it's recently rained, don't go at high tide; parts of the trail may be wet or muddy!) You'll find a really nice variety of trees and micro climates- the grasses and small trees in the marsh land are quite different from the hardwood forests and pines just a few feet further inland. This trail would be especially lovely at sunrise or sunset. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Emerald Isle/Swansboro area!
