She gave great explanations of the Maritime forest and waterways and engaged everyone in the group with questions and conversation. Beautiful area to kayak.

We signed up for the kayaking at Alligator River at Buffalo City. Tour girl Rebecca was…read moreknowledgeable about the places, and trying her best to identify the gators. 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.

Captain Jamie was very knowledgeable about the area wildlife and history. He provided an educational, interesting, and fun experience. He was the perfect captain for the trip.

I had such an amazing time! We had a little bit of a problem with our booking appointment, but with…read morea little help and a lot of patience we got it figured out and were able to go tubing! Our captain, Aiden, was an amazing and fun person to take us on our tubing adventure, and even tried to get me knocked off and fall into the water, which was super fun, but he was unsuccessful ! He even taught us a bit about dolphins (by far one of the coolest things I learned from a tour guild that was not a part of the experience). Not only was the tubing experience really fun, but I and my family also had a fun time just being there, and Aiden made 10x better with his fun and positive attitude and enthusiasm that he brought. And I guess the clothes are pretty great too I'm just kidding, they are actually like so comfortable, and I think are a much needed purchase because of the comfort and selection of the colors of the clothing they sell! I will definitely be asking to come back in the future whenever we are in the area! Thank you Nor' Banks for making the out to Duck so fun! -Owen

We happened upon this shop (via the advice of locals). Mike put it together quickly, for free, and wouldn't let us give him any money. He was not only generous, but he was a good guy. He had a gentle, easy way about him - striking up genuine conversation with all of his visitors, like he was an old friend. I recommend either of his two shops to anyone visiting the OBX. I rarely give perfect scores to businesses. They most certainly deserve it. I heard him helping other people ahead of us in line and he knows his stuff.

Wind-NC.com is a stellar on-line merchant, can't wait to visit the store in person sometime.

After perusing the store I realize just how unique it really was. I even found these little shoe boots that you could put on when the weather gets colder and still go out and enjoy your favorite sport. The prices seem fair and the staff was so knowledgeable and easily accessible to talk with. When I need to make any purchases I will definitely try their online ordering system tense I live in Florida. What's a girl to do? You gotta keep up with what's going on out there or if you snooze you lose.

I called the nags head location to ask if they would take them back. The manager, Jake, explained that he would have to see them. That is just fine, so I brought them to him with all the tags and the receipt then when we grab another pair to exchange them with, the Grommet on the new pair was cracked. Jake handled it like a pro and gave us the benefit of the doubt and let us return the shorts so, I ended up spending $200 more, because he was so gracious to us. Jake was a professional and I appreciate it. He does a good job. He should be commended.
