– Patricia M. | YelpAwesome Alligator River kayak trip with guide Tiger. He was full of knowledge about the area and made the tour both fun and educational with cool stories. We only saw one alligator but it was a good one! About 5-6 feet long laying up on a grassy bank in the sun. We paddled right by him.

– Sharon K. | TripadvisorGAVIN was wonderful. Kind, fun and informative. You cannot possibly go wrong with one of his tours!
– Danielle S. | YelpWe had a large group and really enjoyed our 2 hour trip with tour guide Gavin! My 5 year old also did great in a tandem kayak with grandpa. Would recommend as something fun to do for anyone coming to OBX.
– Raychel E. | GoogleMy daughter and I had a great time. Our guide, Stephanie was awesome! Very knowledgeable and friendly. She made it a great experience for us.
– Dereck V. | TripadvisorWe had an absolutely great experience with Outer Banks Kayak Adventures! We ended up booking the Kitty Hawk Maritime Forest and Marsh Kayak tour and loved it. We had Cora as our guide and she made the effort to personally check in on everyone and make small talk and make sure we're all having a good time.
– Damian L. | YelpThe views were gorgeous. Our tour guide Erika was the best!! She was so knowledgeable about the area, great at pointing out wildlife along our route, answered any/all questions our group had and was super easy to talk and connect with.
– Amanda D. GoogleWe really enjoyed our tour guide, Gavin. He was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable of the area. The marshes were so peaceful with a variety of birds and plants to enjoy. The covered bridge has a humerous story.
– Karen W. | TripadvisorBeside myself being late to my scheduled Sunset kayaking tour due to the emailed address being faulty. Our tour guide was wonderful, helpful and informative. This adventure from OBKA was a definite must.
– Sam F. | YelpWe had a great first time kayaking experience with Gavin through the Kitty Hawk Maritime forest. Gavin was funny and had plenty of knowledge to share about the plant and animal species in the marsh. The tour was very relaxing and a great pace for first timers and kids.
– Jaimie S. | GoogleGreat trip and the weather turned out gorgeous (looked a tad bit iffy in the early morning). Thanks to our super guide Stephanie, she made the trip very interesting and fun!
– dmchayes | TripadvisorWhen we showed up we saw the tour headed out! Gavin rowed back to get us in the water and catch up to the group. We had a great time gliding down the brackish water and listening to Gavin's anecdotes. We saw a deer, a cotton mouth snake, an egret, and an osprey at its nest. Gavin informed us that an osprey (his favorite fowl) has an extra bone in its neck that keeps the bird from breaking its neck when he hunts for fish.
– Beth C. | YelpOur guide Gavin was exceptional, couldn't have asked for anyone better. Had great, organic conversations with him throughout our journey, and i was extremely pleased with his level of knowledge on the local fauna and flora of the area. We will definitely be booking with them for a future adventure.
– Ben L. | GoogleA relaxing fun outing. Stephanie was a great guide she was patient with new paddlers and engaged the experienced as well. Interesting facts and beautiful scenery in the canal and sound.
