Eileen answered all my questions over the phone. She was at the boat lunch waiting for us when we got there. Gave us a map with the routes, landmarks, and channel (to stay out of). Even brought a waterproof bag which one of us ended up needing. We had a great time and did not have any trouble navigating around. Will try to do this again before summer is over. Not really related but we started at 9:30 Sunday morning and were glad we didn't pick a later time. The water seemed to get quite crowded with boats, at least closer the the shore toward early afternoon. Bonus: the volunteers on Outer island were very nice, too.

I have lived in CT all my life but have never been to the Thimble Islands. This tour was perfect. First of all, Marie was a dream to work with. It was easy to reserve, and she gave good instructions for GPS directions and where to park. Eileen was the master tour guide. She was helpful, fun and informative. She went at a relaxed pace so we can take in the sites and of course take photos. We listed to her stories and learned so much about the Thimble Islands. This area is so beautiful. It was hard to believe we were still in CT. I would highly recommend this tour and plan to go back again!!!!

We had a stressful experience on our way there, but her warm personality, kindness, and positive attitude completely turned our day around.

Thank you, Lisa, for making our Fourth of July so memorable! We will definitely be back--not only to kayak again, but just to say hello. I highly recommend this place, and if you're lucky enough to have Lisa helping you, you're in for a wonderful experience.

Joe provides a judgement free zone, he's extremely patient, kind, and his directions don't carry any underlying tone that may discourage a beginner or frustrate an experienced paddler.

This guy Joe has got great people & teaching skills. We all would highly recommend a tour w/ the JK group. Thanks again, Joe Sincerely, Heather, Abby, Jeremy, & Rob

This summer we had more than one family reunion with multiple adults and children of ages ranging from 3 years to 19 years old. The highlight of each event was providing them with the opportunity to participate in Eric's Camp and they're still talking about the awesome experience. Simply witnessing Eric's red kayaks out on the water is such a joyful experience but his and his staff member's skills make this an adventure not to be missed! They are very knowledgable and organized and afford their guests exposure to marine wildlife and the natural world that can't be missed! Eric has a truly unique personality and a gift for engaging people of all ages in the special beauty of the waterways to which we have access. Don't miss the opportunity for you and your children to share in this matchless adventure!
