    Nipsey R.

    Ive taken the 4 hour Batsto kayak trip twice in the past month. Amazing way to see the pine barrens. Staff were helpful and informative. Highly recommended

    A rave. Every team member we interacted was super friendly and informative. For $50 we got kayak rentals and a four hour adventure. Upon arrival, we checked in, and the staff gave us a run down of the route we'd be taking. Then we loaded on to the bus. Along the ~15 minute ride to/from the launch site, we were regaled with a history of the area - bonus! Be warned, while the way back is paved, you get to the launch set in a very bumpy dirt road and we were bouncing all over (I thought this was super fun). We launched and began our adventure. The route is very twisty, which was good for skill sharpening and fun. The water was low since we've been without good rain, so we did get minorly stuck a few times, but we're able to move on with some good shaking. About half way down the route there are two lovely mini beaches were you can dock and enjoy lunch/a snack. Not so pro tip - once you pass mile marker 11 things open up, when you see the lily pads, stay to the right, or you'll get stuck like me, and if you get out to drag your boat, you'll get sucked into lake mud. Good news -- I got out . Bad news -- one of my water shoes fell victim to the mud, and I've never felt something so gross in my life. Also in a bad news front, when things open up, the biting flies got really bad - don't forget your by spray! Overall this is a fabulous experience! Staff is fabulous, the route is fun and beautiful, and you can learn a lot about the area in your bus rides. Don't forget lots of water, sunscreen, and bug spray!

    Picturesque scenery!

    A top notch outfit for fun and adventure! The staff were extremely friendly and offered great navigation and tips for novice yak'rs like me. They were very prompt and efficient from beginning to end. We had an absolute blast and hope to come back for future outings!!

    Tranquil and so restorative! My husband and I kayaked the Batsto River - Quaker Bridge - Batsto Lake and it took us about 4.5 hrs. We decided on a staycation this summer and booked a trip here with overnights at a nearby hotel. Weather was set to be cloudy but the sun came out and made for a glorious day. Water is slow flowing and refreshingly cool. You almost don't have to paddle except when you need to navigate. There were parts in the beginning that are windy and you must paddle around some downed trees. There are several spots where you can stop to eat your snacks and refuel. We are both beginners with kayaking and got the hang of it after the first mile. Beautiful flowers and we saw lots of turtles on our route! I felt it helped to watch a basic paddling video to prep, but if you have time to take a lesson, that's probably even better. I can be apprehensive in the water as someone who can't swim well but wearing the PFD and being in the gentle waters I gained some confidence pretty quick. While I'd say we are generally fit and in good health, my forearms and hands were pretty sore in the evening. Next day though I was good to go and felt like my soul was quenched after a day out in the beautiful Pine Barrens. The staff is very knowledgeable and make you really feel safe and at ease from the start. You are given a map, there are mile marker signs to look for along the way and you have texting capability to be in touch with the staff for your pickup point. We came with a bus group of people but only saw a handful of others on our route. I hope we get to return again soon, thank you for a wonderful experience!

    We had an amazing day kayaking with Pinelands. We saw turtles, heron and beautiful flowers along the way. We can't wait to go again. We highly recommend pinelands.

    Today was an AMAZING way to spend my birthday!!! Apologies for not remembering our BEYOND BRILLIANT and upbeat guide (uh-oh ... memory issues already). She truly made the trip so colorful, informative, and fun! Hope to spend my 78th on the river with her again!!

    Such an amazing experience. Mike was super helpful and full of information! Great first time kayaking! And we have the same birthday!

    Next day though I was good to go and felt like my soul was quenched after a day out in the beautiful Pine Barrens.

While kayaking is a great activity to enjoy while social distancing, everybody had the same idea and the place was packed! Even though we made a reservation, we had to wait about an hour to ride the bus to the send off point and the bus drive made us all a little anxious to say the least. Bathrooms and life jackets seemed to be well kempt but the waits to go to and from the office and parking lot location were super long and made all the guests very unruly and restless. There aren't too many people on staff assisting you when actually kayaking so if you are a pure beginner, I recommend you come with experienced company or you might spend a lot of time hitting logs and tree branches. The view of the kayaking trails aren't too scenic but rather just peaceful. Imagine yourself immersed in the woods in murky water. They are also dog friendly but just in the way that they allow dogs, nothing too special at that. Also, parking gets limited after 9:30 AM so leave your house sooner than you planned!

    A bit pricey - and they REALLY don't like it if you are late...but when you are out in the middle…read moreof nowhere, as you would be if you rent from Micks, how can you complain? They'll even pile you in their rickety bus and drive you to the start. Plus, you know... this is where the Jersey Devil lives.
