Peaceful and easy

Coastal forest tour was peaceful and easy. Gavin, our guide, is a gem. Perfect for a change from the beach.

Highly recommend this tour

Awesome 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.

Would recommend!

We 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.

Great experience

We 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.

Absolutely loved our Sunset Kayak trip last night

The 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.

Kayaking tour was worth our time

We 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.

Wonderful, helpful and informative

Beside 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.

Great First Time Kayaking

We 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.

We had a great time!

When 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.

Had an amazing time kayaking with this company.

Our 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.
