    More Fun.

    When My Brother mentioned Kayaking whole on vacation, I did not really think I was into it. But after we talked and noticed so many tributaries,Bays and the Atlantic- it was on and all 4 of Us Brothers(and Nephew) had a really great time.

    Cycling through the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. We saw turtles and herons and raccoons!

    This is my second time here and I want to share what a wonderful experience this is. Not just because of the beautiful location on the Blackwater, but because of the wonderful experience we had with Kaycie, our guide, on the bicycle trip. We kayaked in the afternoon. Both Kaycie and Susan are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history and ecology of the area and share in a way that is engaging and just makes you want to keep coming back. And we will. We took a guided tour in the morning and went on our own in the afternoon. Recommend the guided trips as it really adds to the experience.

    Beautiful scenery at Blackwater

    Rules not explained well by the kids working there. Lack of professionalism - bad experience. Happy to rip you off.

    This summer I managed to get some time off and got the whole family out, but with one snag - we were short one kayak.

    As you can see from my prior review in August 2023 I love this place. I love to kayak with my…read morefamily. I was here again with my same family of five including two elementary school children. This time I rented two double kayaks for 1 hour at $30 each or $60 total. I also rented one single kayak for one hour or $20. Our total cost was $80 for two doubles and one single kayak in total. This time we traveled south in the bay since the current was moving North. That made it easier for us to kayak back to the kayak base. We returned within one hour. I also purchased a Coastal Kayak hoodie for $40. We agreed we will return here again.

    Nothing but good things to say about Mitch and the team at Coastal Kayak! I called two days ahead…read moreof my arrival to find out if I needed a reservation to rent a paddleboard for the weekend and was informed that there was no need. I showed up on the day of my arrival and rented a 10" board with no problems. FYI - the 10" board fit in my compact-size SUV with the headrests removed, front seat down and fin removed. The rental included a paddle and the board also had a leash. I had my own Coast Guard approved lifejacket. I also booked the Burton Island's wildlife guided tour which was a 2-hour tour thru the salt marsh around Burton's Island. Bob (our guide) gave a quick "kayaking 101" before we started and off we went. We had 8 total in our group which was a perfect size for the tour. On the tour we observed ospreys, lots of different types of sea gulls, cormorants who use the bay as a runway before taking off into the blue sky, horseshoe crabs, teeny-tiny fiddler crabs no bigger than a quarter, and little turtles popping up to see what was going on as we were paddling thru the marsh. Bob is a great tour guide with lots of info about the area and wildlife. The meeting point for the tour is the Burton Island's trail head located on the north end of the Indian River Marina inside the Delaware Seashore State Park. For me, it was a short15 minute drive from where I was staying in Fenwick Island. Price wise - the tour and SUP rental were quite reasonable. I will definitely rent from Coastal Kayak the next time I'm in Fenwick Island.
