Kayaking

Wonderful experience! We love kayaking here! They are kind and knowledgeable. We've Been coming for 15 years.

My family and I went kayaking for the first time ever at Ayers Creek Adventures. We were greeted by Glen who gave us a rundown on how to prepare for the adventure. Then Wyatt and Jeremy showed us how to maneuver in the water and led us through a scenic route pointing out birds and sharing other interesting information about the area. They were also super encouraging when we were tired and running into trees and rocks (no injuries or damage! Just your basic first-timer mistakes). We'd love to come back on our next summer vacation!

I've been visiting OC for years but recently realized there's so much more to visiting than inside the city limits. One of those places is Ayers Creek Adventures. Tucked away in Berlin just minutes over the Rt 50 bridge, it's worth the drive over. Rebecca (I hope I spelled that correctly) was our tour guide and was great. My daughters, ages 8 and 5, got to experience their first time on a canoe. Rebecca was very patient with us and while we only saw a few species of birds and a few jumping fish, she told us a lot about the history and area. We will definitely be back and maybe try the kayaks at that time.

We did the Sunset Tour as first time kayakers and it was outstanding. My daughters, (17 and 21) and I enjoyed the entire trip and our guide, Patrick was amazing. He was laid back but gave you confidence on the water. We learned quite a bit about the wildlife and the preserves. We definitely plan to do this again! Also, I liked the owners attention to safety due to threatening storms . Top notch on safety! Highly recommend!

Kayaking on salt marsh tour

There is no way to put into words what an awesome experience my two sons and I had on the guided salt marsh tour. Our guides, Suzy and Steve, were very knowledgeable about the wetlands. We saw bald eagles and terns. This was the second outing one of my son's has been on and was the first for myself and other son. We will definitely be back to go on the forest tour. The personal touch Steve and Suzy gave our outing was so much worth it!

Best tour guide ever. Thank you for making our 1st kayaking experience so much fun. Definitely looking forward to pur next trip.

This was our 1st time kayaking and rebecca made it the best experience we could have asked for. Cant wait till we go back.

The perfect spot to hang around sunset time! You will feel relaxed. Suzy is the best tour guide! I recommend this tour to everyone visiting Berlin MD!

I have never been in a kayak before so renting one for 4 hrs with the family was a bit daunting. Suzie was fabulous with orienting us to the kayak and the creek. She gave suggestions and was helpful. I had a fabulous time and ready to go back. The views were amazing and the ride peaceful. The scenery and animal watching were fabulous. I loved it!

Really easy! I called 30 minutes before to check if they were busy. I was advised to come earlier…read morerather than later, since the winds were forecasted to pick up in the afternoon. They also described where to park when we got there. The guys were super friendly and got us all set up very quickly. I rented a stand up paddle board, and my husband rented a kayak. We were able to leave our things with them while we went out on the water. The water itself was really peaceful and relaxing. My standup paddle board rental only cost $20 for the hour, which I thought was totally reasonable. FYI, if you need to change, you can use the bathroom in the Princess Bayside. It wasn't the nicest of bathrooms, but at least it was something.

First time paddle boarding for both my better half & I. Def a fun experience. Bit of a workout too…read morewhich I'm always down for. I could tell my hip stabilizers & quads had been utilized (from all the balancing) later in the day haha. Reasonable pricing for an hour. For 2 ppl came to like $43. Be prepared to go for an hour cuz they don't have shorter time increments. Or just buy an hr and come back to shore when you're over it. Honestly; you'll need the hour just to acclimate to maneuvering the board. The place also offers glow in the dark paddle boarding! Looks cool but I'd be weary of any sea creatures in the bay at night. I've been watching way too much shark week/fest on Nat Geo lately lol. Only downfall in my opinion is that not all the instructors are made equal. Saw an older man & younger guy teach a couple groups before us and both were very thorough with their paddle board tutorials. This girl that I thought was just another paid customer approached us out of nowhere like "you ready?!"... oh ok no intro. She was quick with her instructions and def got us into the water fast. Seemed like she was ready to clock TF out for the day before she even started. I had fun for my 1st paddle board experience. I didn't fall. Success!I just would've been even better without this girl instructor's negative vibe. Issa whole mood that I wasn't feelin' at all. But she

I'm an experience kayak lover but the awesome instruction by Beth confirmed that every sport has…read moreits idiosyncrasies, which when informed, makes the sport more enjoyable.The lesson, Beth informed me, was my best value. It included a group on land, instruction followed by further instruction in the water, In turn, I was able to observe Beth in action as well(for us visual learners). My friend bought a board at their retail store, just minutes away, where they have a great selection and well informed sales people.They have every accessory including board leashes, inflatable life jackets, floating eyeglass leashes(mine went overboard). It's a small family owned business and the sixteen yr. old son was as helpful as he was charming. What a blast! The Blue Planet paddle board is beautiful and its the perfect board choice for me, thanks to the knowledge and patience of the Walk On Water team. Beth gave phenomenal instruction and Ron helped me during the demo, before buying board. $20.00. Included group instruction and 1 1/2 hours of board time.

Whatever expectation you have, it's much better. I went with a group of friends- some who had never…read moredone yoga and some that do it weekly. Every one there, no matter their level, enjoyed themselves, the experience and the work out. I highly recommend it. I was not expecting much- but all I can say is it is an amazing treat for yourself, and a great way to enjoy what this area has to offer. I will be back!

1 Star - Absolutely Awful Experience…read more Island Water Sports gave us one of the worst customer service experiences we've ever had. As we were pulling into the dock -- after being stuck in torrential downpours all day because they refused to offer a rain check unless there was thunder -- a staff member started shouting at us, "I hope you have insurance! You've damaged my ladder!" The swim ladder had accidentally been left down, but it was already damaged when we took the boat out. Even after staff inside the office confirmed the damage had been noted earlier, the dockhand, Mike, continued to accuse us and treated us like we had done something wrong. They made us stay in the boat while they took pictures and called it in to the office, repeatedly telling us we were going to have to pay for it. When we were finally allowed off, some of our group went to use the bathroom and were stopped on their way back by another employee, who told them they "weren't allowed to leave." It felt like we were being detained -- over a broken ladder we didn't even damage. At one point I told Mike how rude and unprofessional he was -- and no, I wasn't calm about it. I had every right to speak up after the way we were being treated. Instead of diffusing the situation, he came back at me, even more defensive and condescending. It wasn't until after they embarrassed us and treated us like criminals in front of other guests that we finally got a weak apology. Then, as if that wasn't enough, they actually complained that there was mud on the floorboard from the anchor -- because it had touched the wet deck. First of all, don't they wash the boats down anyway? And second, it was pouring rain all day -- what exactly did they expect? We didn't even complain about the miserable weather -- we paid in full and left without so much as a "Sorry the weather didn't cooperate" or "Hope you still had a good time." Just attitude and accusations. We've rented from other marinas in the area and always had a great experience. Island Water Sports was by far the worst -- rude, accusatory, and completely lacking in basic customer service. I would never rent from them again and absolutely do not recommend them to anyone!

We had a great experience renting a Pontoon with Island Watersports. The rental process online was…read moreeasy and efficient. Staff was friendly and courteous when we arrived, and the boat was in tip-top shape. The one-star knock is because they did not have a restroom available for us before our trip, which meant we had to leave the premises for a Royal Farms, then return. Granted we didn't lose a lot of time, but a restroom for clients, even if it's a porta potty, I feel is a necessity.

Island Watersports - This was the extent of their $350 "tow". The rest of the physical labor was left to their customers.
