Coastal Kayak — Local services in Fenwick Island

The whole family agreed this was the best part of our trip! My family and I originally wanted to go to the Pea island tour, but Joe called and advised that it would not be a good day to do so, so he put us on another tour and adjusted the price. We went to the Kitty Hawk Marsh tour and had a great time! it was shielded from the winds and the scenery was beautiful. We kept telling my mom how much fun we had, and so we almost booked another tour for the Marsh, until Joe texted me to let me know he had spots open on Saturday for Pea Island so we quickly reserved our spots. We saw some stingrays and lots of tiny Lobed Comb jellyfish (which reflected rainbow colors!)

Joe was very serious about social distancing, and was great about wearing a mask when interacting with us from 6ft or less.

He was also so communicative, and was great at answering questions and was very knowlegable about the waterways. My dad is an avid kayaker and agreed that these tours were well worth the money. Joe even texted me pictures that he had taken of us while we were kayaking. Can't recommend Coastal...

We did the Burton Island’s Wildlife Tour. The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We saw a lot of wildlife and overall it was a great experience. However, my family is not very good at kayaking. The second tour guide had to hang back with my children in their kayak. I was in the middle with no guide in sight and the rest of the group was way ahead. So I missed out on almost all of the explanation and information from either tour guide. At one point the group that was way ahead was told to stick to the side because the middle was too shallow to paddle through. Because no one told me and my other child we ended up getting stuck. It was extremely uncomfortable to get out and had I tried to stand I would have sunk into the ground and had a potential emergency. The guide that was way ahead finally came back to help us get unstuck but we should not have been left in that situation. Please make sure that the groups stay together and no one is left unattended and everyone is given proper instruction on...

We booked two tours with this company in August, both turned out great. Burton island tour had tons of touch-in opportunities, which was super fun for my 6y old. He got to play with live horseshoe crab a little bit when we landed the island. Also our guide helped us identify the fox tracks, as well as the egg cases of whelks and skates, and broken egg shells. All tell a vivid picture of the wildlife here. We also saw ospreys, turns, gulls, herons, egrets, etc. Paddling in the tight marshland itself was fun too.

On the second day, we took the Assawoman bay tour, it was very peaceful and quiet, great for me, but a little boring for my son, as he needs to be very patient, without much interactions or actions, he liked the first day better. I enjoyed it anyways, saw a tern diving for fish, and bald eagle perched on pine trees, and osprey hunting in action. Awesome kayaking experience overall, definitely...
