Our group of jet skiiers included everyone from parent/child combos to adult couples and even expert jet skiiers. My wife and young daughter went on the banana boat experience since my daughter isn't old enough for jet skiing. They had a blast getting a ton of ocean spray in their face while being towed behind a motor boat (make sure to wear goggles). My son and I shared a jet ski and I was really impressed. They are certainly powerful (we got up to 60 km/hour), but have some impressive built-in safety features. There is an auto-break that applies whenever you approach the jet skiing boundaries or get too close to another jet ski or other boat. As a novice, I really appreciated that feature. The staff was uniformly friendly. The location is nice, located next to a public beach that we relaxed in afterwards, as well as a couple of bars (note you can't drink before jet skiing). There isn't a ton of parking, so factor that in as needed.

This review is for the Pints & Paddles Tour (didn't see any other reviews and thought this was…read moredeserving of 5 stars!) through Quest. Stumbled across the Pints & Paddles through the Dogfish Head website and thought: "this sounds like an awesome Father's Day activity", ran it by my stepmother who immediately wrote back with an excited YES! Your dad will love this. So I called up, spoke to Matt and he sold me on the tour immediately. A week and a half later, on one of the hottest days of summer thus far, we were lathered up in our SPF 70, hydrated with water and were ready for our adventure. It was just the four of us, plus Matt, on the tour. He managed to get us into the water without anyone falling in and gave us a peaceful paddle down the Broadkill River pointing out lazy turtles sunning themselves, a few blue herons and a tree where bald eagles are known to nest. The paddle was pretty easy, and despite the heat, we all managed it pretty well (with the exception of me, who is apparently more out of shape than my 60-something year old family members.. yikes!). Then we clambered back into the van and headed over to DFH Brewery. Awesome tour (maybe I'll write a separate review over on their Yelp), excellent tastings and made me appreciate one of my favorite craft brewers even more than I already do. Anyway, thanks again Matt (and Dogfish!) for an awesome afternoon and great memory for my vacation... looking forward to heading back to another adventure on our next family vacation to Delaware.

In August I rented a 6x12 floating mat for a week in Lewis Beach. I called them and reserved a mat…read moreto be delivered on a Sunday morning and picked up the following Friday. Per their web page the weekly rental was listed as $350. The reservation and delivery address was done over the phone. The mat was delivered on time. There were no issues with the rental until I noticed that my charge card was charged $500. Upon questioning why the price was $500. They told me that the web page was in error, the price had increased, and the web page was being updated. (Yes my error, I never confirmed with them that the price was as documented in their webpage) It is now almost 3 months later and their webpage still indicates a price of $350 for a week rental of a 6x12 mat. If you must do business with them be careful of getting the price in writing before agreeing to anything.

It was an absolute joy. I would've recommend this to anyone. Even the trails that were rocky that go outback through the woods we did on a street bike no problem. They seem to be very well-maintained trails. At one point you had the super long bridge that goes over a swampy area, which is really cool too. On the way up on the trail, we saw a turtle crossing the trail on the way back. We saw but I assume is the same turtle taking a hole with his back legs. I don't know why I spent my whole life going to the Jersey shore. You drive an extra hour. You could come down here and have a super nice beach that's not packed and the super nice trails that you can bicycle too.

First, it's dog-friendly which is a huge plus (be sure your dog is leashed at all times). Second, this is a lovely trail for hiking a couple miles, but it's not covered by trees, so perhaps it's better for a cloudy day. Third, you'll get a view of sand dunes, wetlands, and a pond (if you're lucky, a heron will come into view). This is a delightful trail for a relaxing walk - and a haven for joggers, dog walkers, and photographers. I think the Gordons Pond Trail is one of the crown jewels in Cape Henlopen State Park.

The bathrooms/showers were clean BUT I guess I'm used to sites that spray repellent because nature is boss. We drove through the comfort sites of D and they were too tight for my liking. They have yurts and cabins but for me a tad too close. They do have an Island camp site Loved it!!!!! That's a must do. It's 2 sites across a short walking bridge with water view and access. I would definitely go back.
