We will be back!

He took the time to make sure we had a safety plan, he shared the fishing plan ahead of time, made sure I had the proper rigs and bait before we launched and we had a blast the whole time. End result was me with like so many others was a Citation Red Drum and an experience I will never forget and puts a smile my face remembering it today. Rob is really focused on making sure his clients are successful and you can tell he is genuinely happy when his clients are having a good experience. Highly recommend him for any ocean or sound, day or night, kayak fishing or excursion you have in mind.

Can't say enough great things about our experience here. Captain Pierre and shipmate Hailey were…read moreour crew. They were knowledgeable, efficient, entertaining and more importantly safe. We had a party of 9, 7 of us parasailing and 2 observers. Our youngest parasailer was 8 but our 4 year old observer will fly next year! I was a little hesitant about how scary parasailing would be for the littles but it was a calm take off and return, the time up there was peaceful. Captain Pierre gives you the option of dipping your feet in (or more!) and their precision is on point! Shipmate Hailey takes all the photos and equips you with the go pro (worth the splurge!) and they capture the greatest moments. These memories will last a lifetime time!

We saw 4 of them during the trip, guess it was too hot for them to come out of water (Aug, 80-90F sunny days). The later half of the trip would require some kayak skills to turn, zigzag, etc...wish we, the beginners, would have more time to practice...Rebecca is great to work with, she tried best to accommodate everyone's needs, just a large group to handle with different kayak skill level (8-9 kayaks, 13-15 ppl). Make sure to bring waters sun screen and bug sprays. Telescope can be helpful on the river to identify the gator( they are camouflage masters on water), lots of time you can see the head, nose and eyes.

The process of renting and paddling out was really easy, and the customer service was great.

We did not want to take a tour so after calling around we were directed to the Kitty Hawk Nags Head - Whalebone destination as it was where you could directly launch kayaks into the water. The people were incredibly friendly and very helpful. They got us set up quickly with two single kayaks and gave us directions. We headed into the sound, which was a bit wavy but not bad, and then into the salt marshes, which were incredibly cool and very calm. It was a wonderful way to spend an hour! $30 for an individual kayak felt very reasonable and we appreciated that we didn't have to transport the boats.

If you are reading this review, then I ASS-U-ME you are considering going Kayaking when you visit…read morethe Outer Banks. A warning to all those of you who have never Kayaked. DON'T go anywhere else. Ben Cobb is a young family man who is an EMT Fireman with all the precautions for any mishap and is an INCREDIBLE GUIDE. My girlfriend and I (we are over 60 and retired) have never Kayaked and Kathie is not a strong swimmer so she had her reservations when Ben was taking us on the Alligator River Tour. She had friends who fell in and had bad experiences when they went Kayaking; please don't let me get started on them haha. YOU WILL NOT FALL IN!! Unless you don't listen to simple instructions. "Put your foot in the middle of the boat and sit down". NO ONE FELL IN and there were 6 yr olds paddling themselves (i don't advise this} Ben had to Kayak 3 miles while towing another Kayak. He did it with pleasure. I do strongly recommend watching a few YOUTUBE videos to get acquainted with how to steer it; how to get in and out, but if you have ever been in a Canoe or Row Boat, it's not rocket science. Anyone can do it if they have a couple of ounces of coordination. You won't see any Alligators, unless you are lucky like we were. YEP. An 8 ft alligator; looked like a mom guarding her babies, on the banks barely visible. How scary right? Not at all because Ben explained in the begginging what to do. NOTHING. They don't bother you; UNLESS you don't follow simple instructions like the young girl didn't do and started paddling toward the alligator. Alligator came into the water a few feet and she got the warning. That's it. Too bad we didn't see the Black Bears that sometime hang out in the trees. I don't write reviews for my health. I love reading good reviews that paint a picture so that is what I am trying to do. If you are thinking about Kayaking then call Ben. I'm sure that there are other competent guides, but why take the chance. There is absolutely nothing he could have done to make it more exciting and enjoyable, from the protein bars, water and Gatorade to the frequent stops for an education. THANKS BEN!!!! Kathie wants to buy a tandem Kayak now. She LOVED IT!!

We had a large group so the gators we pretty quiet during the actual kayaking, but what a great experience on the river! It was beautiful being in a natural environment.

I would encourage anyone to take advantage of his services.
