Get out and explore with an introduction to kayaking Eco-tour, one of our many half day kayak adventures, or go big with a full day expedition. All of our groups are small in size ensuring a personalized experience. Our guides will show you the hidden coast of Carolina Beach State Park (just south of Wilmington NC), Hammocks Beach State Park (in Swansboro NC), Topsail Beach’s Permuda Island Reserve, or you can try one of our off-site Eco-adventures.
Kayaking, and paddle boarding North Carolina’s coastal State Parks and Reserves is a great way to experience their natural wonders. Dolphins and beautiful shorebirds often join our kayak tours. You might even spot a loggerhead sea turtle sticking its head up to say “Hi”. Paddle NC wants to share this amazing experience, so go kayaking or stand up paddleboarding (SUP) with us and have your best day ever.
