The waiver system can be a little complicated especially when checking in multiple children (8-12) at the same time. Each child requires the same lengthy form as a single adult. But overall, all the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful.

The equipment is clean and the trip is worth it, plan for a good weather day because i feel like this is the only way to really enjoy it. I will be back to visit again for sure.

Did a 2-hour guided sunset kayak tour here for Valentine's Day, tricky to find parking or at least…read morereasonably priced. The rental place is a bit of a walk and although we filled out the waivers prior, we were asked to do so again. There seemed to be a technical difficulty with the website not registering properly so our check in process was a bit lengthy. Overall, the employees were great and told us which direction we could follow. Eventually we ended up just us 2 (separate kayaks) and I'm so glad we brought a portable speaker because we were able to curate the vibes on such a romantic day. The views were immaculate and I even told some coworkers about it in case they were interested in purchasing. Can't complain on the experience!

We met with Rick, who, despite working solo that morning and being on his lunch ran back to accommodate us. We noticed the front door walking to the paddle board place NEXT door and I'm so glad we did - this spot was 1/2 the price and the customer service was excellent. We rented 2 kayaks (one single and one tandem) for an hour due to time constraints. Rick fit us in the schedule and showed us a map of where made sense for us to go with the time we had. The price included the cost of the kayaks, water for everyone in a cooler, cases to protect our phones from water and keep them attached to us, a wet/dry bag to keep all our stuff dry and a waterproof bluetooth speaker. They sanitized everything before we used it, walked the boats down to the water, showed us how to get in and had us text them to meet us to bring everything back. All that for $20 per person for the hour! Also, online it said they were sold out, but we walked in and they were able to accommodate, so def worth calling or walking in to see even if it looks like they are booked up. They also offer guided tours which I want to try, including a sunset nightime tour which sounds awesome. As repeat customers, you get a free half hour for free or 20% off the guided tours. 100% will be back!

We were only upset about the fact that we were on time, but had to wait for 6 people who were late, who wasted at least 20+ minutes of our tour, getting paperwork and kayaks ready. We could not hear anything of any importance from our guide as people had different abilities to paddle (totally understandable) and there was no effort to include everyone. The mangroves are pretty and worth seeing. Our tour ended within the hour (should have been 90 min) but we were given the option of having the kayaks longer so we paddled out to West Lake, very pretty. Should have just rented the kayak and done our own tour

I also asked about the bungees for my bag and while they didn't have that, they told me exactly where to go to get some and explained how to ask for it.

We checked in, left an ID, signed their waiver, and then we were off to get life vests and paddles/kayaks. They also rent bikes and paddle boards. (We stuck with kayaking for the day.) the weather was gorgeous and the water and scenery beautiful once we got out. I would recommend taking lunch and picnicking on their many tables or surrounding grass area. Another tip, show your reservation for kayaking to the guard/park entrance official that you booked a trip with VKOC and they will waive the $8 park fee. And then enjoy the beaches and scenery.

I showed up for my 12pm tour and was told by the guide's room mate that the guide was out of town and he didn't understand why an appointment would've been booked. Frankly, I don't understand it either. I have reached out to get my $45 back. I felt that this may have been a scam, and I'm pretty sure it is since everyone else's reviews had them meeting up at other places while the confirmation I received said to meet up at the address provided, which is literally someone's house. Sorry for busting in your weekend, room mate. But I definitely want a refund since I was able to book and pay for a tour that wasn't going to happen due to the tour guide being "out of town".
