I had family coming to visit and thought it would be fun to get us out onto a boat. I texted the…read morenumber on the website asking if they could possibly accommodate a two hour ride instead of a three and James was very responsive and helpful. He asked for input about where we wanted to go on the ride but also offered great suggestions. It was a nice balance. The day of the ride was SO much fun. There were six of us and plenty of room on the boat to spread out. One of us has a bit of anxiety about boats and James was very reassuring. The island James took us to was peaceful and beautiful and it was amazing getting to float in the still water nearby. He even collected some shells for my toddler to bring home! James is not a Wilmington native but has been here for a while and has clearly worked hard on knowing the area well. The two hours flew by - we had such a great time. Before we got back I was thinking about when we could rationalize doing it again. Highly, highly recommend booking with Salty Feet. Full disclaimer that I know James through a friend, but that doesn't sway my opinion in any way. I'm not affiliated with the business and don't know James well.

The owner, and tour guide, Kay Lynn was great. Very knowledgeable about the ecosystems and the river. We selected the Eagles Island kayak tour. Kay Lynn made it very easy for us. Supplied everything we needed, outside of water (note, do not bring plastic bottles). We had a blast. I would highly recommend WOA. Kay Lynn has three main tours, Eagles Island, Masonboro Island and Greenfield Lake. You can book and pay for a tour using the WOA website. I highly recommend WOA.

You can tell she has serious passion for the environment! Great experience- HIGHLY recommend!

She was funny, relaxed, attentive, and a wonderful host for our evening kayak trip to Masonboro Island. Not only did she know how to facilitate building community around a shared love for the water, she knew her way around, how to steer us away from the shallows, and also where we would see the most beautiful scenery & wildlife. It was extraordinary to observe the moon rise and the sun set simultaneously while making our way back to the take-out. Will definitely be back!

The rate they charge is super affordable (in fact I think they are under charging- so tip well). We will be back and use them again and again. In fact we have already booked them again for the last day of our trip!
