"We did an kayak Eco tour with two kids and two adults. Our guide was great. Very helpful with the kayak part as we’re beginners and he was great with our kids. We kayaked out to a sandbar and did a nature walk along the beach. Our guide helped kids identify creatures and was very patient with all of their questions. We really enjoyed our outing with Paddle NC. Definitely recommend."

"Super easy online booking and paperwork. Fantastic staff. We found them very helpful. The guide gave an easy to understand brief training prior to our launch. Picked out the best equipment for us to use and set us up for success. It was a beautiful day on the water. We saw pelicans hunting, which was super interesting to watch. We saw egrets and seagulls. That was great. The wake from the boats blasting by wasn't as much fun. I enjoyed the paddling, while the hubs kept saying, "now I know exactly why man invented engines for boats." The hubs and I have been considering getting a kayak to enjoy the water and nature. We booked this tour to see if our thoughts matched what we experienced. What we learned today saved us at least $1,200, because although I like Kayaking the hubs hated it. We declared it the best $50 we've spent in a long time!"

"We had an amazing experience here. Mark was our tour guide and kayak expert. He was great at teaching our group the correct way to kayak, which really came in handy because our kayak excursion was on a very windy day, which made the water choppy. Mark motivated us to keep going and constantly checked in with each person to make sure we weren’t too exerted. He was very knowledgeable about the area and made a discussion out of the tour which was really enjoyable. I highly suggest coming here for a guided kayak tour. We will be back for another one when we travel to Carolina Beach again. Thank you Mark!"

"Had a great time paddling with Megan, she was super friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with us. Got some amazing photos and fun time on the water. We were visiting for the weekend and she totally made us feel at home."

"We had a great experience with Paddle NC. Tony was our tour guide and he did a great job teaching a family of beginners how to kayak at Carolina Beach State Park. After our original sunset tour had to be cancelled for wind, we hurried to get on the 9 a.m. tour before wind became an issue again. So happy we did this! Thank you Paddle NC for a great first time kayaking experience!"
