The Pea Ohana Historic Locks tour our Girl Scout troop took this weekend was a very unique experience! Learning that kayaking through the handcranked double lock was the only place in the world we could experience that was fascinating. And the history of the locks and area was interesting.
Our guide, Dutch, was knowledgeable and safety focus, making sure we all felt comfortable throughout the experience. We all got the hang of it. Along the way we saw the Y-Bridge again learning that it's one-of-a-kind construction
The only drawback was all the waiting: waiting for the locks to rise and fall. Kayaking back we arrived at the locks at 2:03 PM, only to find out the lock operator was on a mandatory break, starting at 2 PM. This meant a 30-minute wait in our kayaks. Pea Ohana would do well to start the tour 30 minutes earlier.
We have done paddleboarding at Buckeye Lake with Pea Ohana with our troop and tubing with our family. You can't go wrong with any of the adventures. The guides are patient and take time to offer support and solid instruction.

It was a refreshing and relaxing tube down the Licking river. As a family we enjoy water activities so this was nice way to enjoy time as a family. The musician singing and playing guitar at the island was a welcome surprised.
We liked that there was a combination of rafting through nature and then through town. We also appreciated that the staff stayed later as we were the last group to put in and spent time listening to the music before making our way down. I'd do it again!

We're so happy to hear your tubing trip down the Licking River with Pea Ohana Watersports was a refreshing and relaxing experience for the whole family! Creating positive memories for families on the water is what we strive for.
It sounds like the combination of scenic nature and seeing a bit of Zanesville from the river was a highlight. We're glad you enjoyed the surprise musician on the island – sometimes you get unexpected treats on the river!
Huge thanks for mentioning our staff staying late for you. We want to make sure everyone has a chance to unwind and enjoy their time, so we appreciate your understanding.
We'd love to have you tubing with us again! Next time, maybe you could try kayaking or paddleboarding to explore the river in a different way.

Our family of (5), ages 11-48, had a fantastic day on the water thanks to Pea Ohana! The staff is super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend any excision with these folks. Super friendly and laid back atmosphere that got us all out enjoying nature together. We are looking forward to making this an annual family outing!
Depending on your excursion, I would recommend packing a few power snacks and a change of clothes.

A nice kayak tour! Not in the least bit strenuous guides were both helpful and knowledgeable. Informative and relaxing couple of hours. I would highly recommend giving it a shot for something fun to do, with no hassle. They won’t stress a first timer either I was impressed with how they managed that. I have kayaked all over for years and was not bored an could play a little along the way. They are very safety conscious which is always a good idea, but especially so for the more inexperienced folks.

Guided kayak tour of historic lock #10 on the Muskingum River was an awesome trip. Dutch was an amazing tour guide and very informative. Things I would have done differently: wear my sunscreen maybe even a hat and some water or BodyArmor. If you get a chance I would definitely try this tour.

Every experience I have had has been fantastic @ Pea Ohana. A great friendly welcoming environment that personalizes your experience. Highly recommend this to families, teams and even individuals. This can be as laid back as you want it to be or if your looking for a great alternative workout kayak the river.

Pea Ohana and their team do a fantastic job making sure your experience is nothing short of wonderful. Bear, the owner, was there when we went and was so kind and welcoming. We have done both the licking and Muskingum river trips and had a blast both times. We will gladly return!

Great location for a kayak trip. The water was perfect and everyone at Pea Ohana was very friendly and helpful! My group loved ending the trip at the local bar/restaurant. It was a great outing from start to finish!
