Training-Lesson Reviews

My wife and I took a beginning kayaking lesson with Matt. He is an outstanding instructor! Matt was thorough, knowledgeable, calm, compassionate. In addition to the kayaking, he took time to point out numerous aquatic birds and other wildlife. All the staff was courteous and professional.

What a great time!!! We had a kayak lesson in a tandem kayak for the 8-year-old and me. Matt was a great instructor. He was patient and helpful with both of us. It was our first time. Leaving from such a great location gave us some options that were quite enjoyable. Highly recommended!

SUP class was so much fun. Can't wait to come back and go out for a tour!

This was my second kayak tour with Elizabeth as a guide. She is very pleasant and informative. First trip was on Shem Creek. The second on the Wanda River. The kayaks are comfortable and easy lessons are given to make you comfortable and more productive at rowing. Both trips were equally enjoyable and I look forward to my next time on the water in a kayak.

I went as part of a kayaking class I take for college and it was honestly my favourite place we’ve been! Shem Creek is absolutely beautiful, and they had several different routes to choose from, so I think anyone can find something they like. There’s a tonne of wildlife everywhere, and I would especially recommend if you love birdwatching or the like. The staff were also really helpful and professional, and made sure that we felt safe and knowledgeable about the area! So even if you’re a beginner, I would highly recommend!

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!! My 14 yr old brother took a kayak camp here last summer, and grew to love kayaking so much that he asked for a kayak for Christmas! He had nothing but great things to say about the camp. Since I don't have a kayak, I rented one from Nature Adventures a few weekends ago to go kayaking with him. The employees were so nice, and they gave us both a map which was very helpful. One of the employees even washed my brother's kayak off for him when we got back from kayaking! It is only $36 for 3-4 hours, which is very reasonable. There is also a $5 discount for locals. We had so much fun!

Looking for a comprehensive course on kayak strokes, maneuvering, safety, wet exits, and rescues? This class is a must for those looking to learn more about kayaking on the coast, how to read the tides, and excellent safety/rescue practices. I had Matt as my instructor, and he did a great job of working with everyone to make sure they were comfortable with the techniques presented. I highly recommend this for any beginner-intermediate paddlers or individuals looking to kayak solo in our tidal creeks!

Our first kayak lesson was a great experience. Matt was a great teacher. He was very patient and helpful with both the 8-year-old and myself! The staff were all very friendly. They applied the Social Distancing guidelines and everything was cleaned after use. Their location allows for options of what kind of trip to take. What a great way to spend the day!

We were able to kayak with them during Beach Sweep - the nationwide coastal cleaning day. They were amazing - provided us with kayaks and a quick lesson for the "newbies", then let us loose in the marsh. They provided the trash bags for us to clean. We collected tons of trash, making the environment cleaner and having a fun time while doing it. They are AWESOME and I totally recommend them for your next adventure!
