    Swan Pond. My paddle is showing (blush).
    Matt W.

    Decent no-frills kayak rental in a converted motel at the Swan "River" (really an estuary); you can go upriver and tie up on the opposite side of the bridge at Clancy's and stop and have a cocktail on your way to the pond, or head down 'river" to the Sound and swim a while (while your rental fee accumulates). Excellent birding and remarkably peaceful once you get away from the bridges. The paddling can be difficult if wind and tide conditions are against you so ask about tides, check the forecast, and plan your itinerary accordingly. Prices are a touch more expensive than Howie's up at Bass River, but the river is less traveled and they had plenty of inventory. Instruction was minimal but then again we knew what we were doing, help boarding and docking was offered and helpful. Overall a decent but not overly adventurous outing. They also have double bicycle-style paddleboats and real fiberglass doubles. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as the first spot for very young kayakers, but for middle-school kids and up it's reasonable for them to be in their own boats, assuming they know how to swim. A 90-minute rental is sufficient to go all the way up to Swan "Pond" and back and have time to dorf around; if you're going down to the Sound I suggest at least a half day, and time it so you're coming back with the rising tide.

    Great experience. Very friendly, clean and professional. We used the pedal boats and our kids used the paddle board. Great fun.

    That left us enough time to kayak down the river ( against the current ) have a swim at the beach, relax and kayak back.

    I went on the Nauset Marsh High Tide tour with my sister yesterday and we had a great time! We…read morechose this location because it was advertised as being one of his easier paddles, and since we have only been kayaking a couple times (and it's 3 hours) we didn't want to get in over our heads. Johnathan was very very knowledgeable about the area and Cape Cod in general, was able to answer all of my questions about the marsh, and provide interesting talking points and tidbits. We saw several types of wildlife: blue herring, horseshoe crabs, other crabs, clams, egrets, and even a seal in the distance. The paddling itself was not bad at all on this tour; it was very easy to keep up and would be fine for adults of pretty much any activity level, even quasi couch-potato ....your arms will just be a little sore the next morning if you don't really ever use them...like me :) The online booking feature is a real win in my opinion because you can see all the options available at one glance. This is a feature that seemed to be lacking in other Kayaking businesses in the area. My sister commented that she enjoyed this even more than she though she was going to. I will definitely go back again with my husband and do another tour sometime soon.

    What an amazing kayaking trip! Gorgeous and peaceful paddling through the marsh. Beautiful…read morescenery, close up encounters with seals, herons and seagulls. Best part was how much we learned from our awesome guide Jonathan, who seems to know about everything from seals and shipwrecks to tidal patterns and costal geology. Can't recommend highly enough!

So I went straight to the source and connected with Mike Morrison, who was not only professional and honest, but genuinely invested in making our family kayak dream happen. He even dropped a discount code like a true Cape Cod MVP. The experience? Unreal. We paddled out to a private beach only accessible by boat--and it was to die for. Calm waters, untouched shoreline, and the kind of peace that makes you forget your inbox exists. I still can't believe people get to do this regularly. It was truly memorable, and Rideaway made it seamless. They also offer sunset tours and paddle board rentals, which we're already eyeing for next time. The staff? Mostly young, but super informative, professional, and full of good vibes. Rideaway doesn't just rent gear--they curate moments. Boomsauce Scale B- basura (trash) BS basic (come on! Try harder) BS + better (Yo! That's better) BS ++ best (alright! Alright! Alrightttt!) BS +++ Amazing location! now that's boomsauce!

I rented a kayak for two people for 6 hour and paid $75 before tax. I made the reservation online and the process was pretty seamless.
