We had a wonderful time last year kayaking the sound in the morning with Cricker. We hope to go again this year! Hadley greeted us when we arrived and was so nice. Her and Cricker were fabulous hosts and the kayak tour was very informative as well as relaxing. My husband and I highly recommend Coastal Explorations. Don't go any... More

Our group of eleven ranged from 13 to 74. We took 5 double kyacks & one single. Coastal Explorations took care of everything....all we needed was ourselves. Our fun and informative guide even took her own camera and emailed us excellent pictures the next morning. p.s. There's a little place for ice cream in the village for a post kyacking... More

Highly recommend the sunset kayak tour. We went with another family. We have 2 young boys - 8 & 5 & they did a great. It was very beautiful & serene & we were the only ones pn the water.

We opted to kayak... More

Hadley (the proprietor) took myself and a group of three others on an outstanding tour. As soon as we departed... More

Great experience with Hadley and the rest of her crew, especially Anne. They gave us an awesome 2 hour kayaking trip in the sound, with up-close scenes of wildlife and nature. Their prices are very reasonable and we will paddle with them again! More

Hadley is an OBX native with plenty of local knowledge. You'll see plenty of wildlife. I saw an osprey swoop in , catch a fish, a fly off with it. Can't get any more natural than that. Bring bugspray, though the only bugs you'll encounter are back at the marsh front office outdoors area. Once you're on the water, no... More

Won a 2 hour kayak tour gift certificate for 2 from Twiddy and Company before our vacation. We stopped by and met the owner Hadley on Wednesday to see what options we had for the gift certificate and how many others from the house we could add to the tour and the cost for them ($35 each) etc. She gladly...
