Very happy we went mid week, we were the only ones on the tour which really helped us get comfortable at our own pace. Strongly recommend.

I just had a wonderful experience with Ray (I think that is his name?) from Poseidon…read moreWatersports/bike rentals. My daughter's bike chain broke. Poseidon is the closest bike-related outfit we found in Cape Charles. Even though we didn't rent the bike from Poseidon, Ray went right to work to repair the chain. Most of the links in his toolbox were sized for beach rentals and too wide for my daughter's bike chain; nonetheless, Ray engineered a solution on the spot. After a few adjustments the chain engaged smoothly thru the gears. The bike now rides beautifully! Ray did not expect payment for his kind service, even though he spent considerable time with the repair. Ray was determined to find a fix, even though I interrupted his lunch and he was also preparing a boat for an afternoon outing. Of course I insisted on compensating! This experience makes me so happy and grateful to have encountered such a good, helpful, and talented person as Ray!

Fantastic trip to West Neck Creek on 9/4/13…read more I booked a 2.5 hour tour for myself, my wife, son age 7.5, son age 5. I wanted to do something different while in Virginia Beach. Kevin, our guide had everything ready and waiting at West Neck Creek Marina when we pulled up (about 25-30 min drive from Hilton in resort section of VA Beach). There is an outhouse bathroom, and you can buy water/Gatorade before you leave from the marina. Kevin gave a short description of how to paddle, turn, get into and out of the kayak. The tour was on a Cypress tree swamp, where we saw numerous Ospreys flying, nesting, and diving for fish. Kevin had a strong knowledge of the area, the wildlife, and what to look for. The kayaks are included in the rental (we had two tandem Perception kayaks). Paddling was easy (not strenuous) and Kevin offered to take multiple breaks if we did get tired. He offered to take us into any cove we wanted to explore, which we took full advantage of. While on the water, it was not buggy at all, but you did need sunscreen applied beforehand. I wanted to see how my young sons would respond to the day on the water in a kayak. Mission accomplished, and everyone enjoyed the trip. I will definitely book another trip with Adventure Kayak Tours when we are in the area again. It was just so easy. Just drive up and launch. Your guide will take a ton of pictures for you.

The flat water tour was very low key and accessible for those who are not used to these activities. Felt comfortable the entire way through. I will recommend having something on your stomach and being hydrated esp on hot days, as with any activity on the water. Booking is easy, getting there is easy, the safety precautions are in place (life jackets, etc) and definitely worth the ticket price. Would recommend these guys and this activity to anyone looking for something fun to do as a family.

It was my first time paddle boarding and Randy set me up for success. He goes over proper technique and calms your nerves if your a first-timer like me.

I am definitely booking another paddle board adventure with RISUP so I can try out paddle boarding in the ocean. If you see Alfonse, the bald eagle, on your RISUP adventure, say hi to her from me!

Excellent pontoon rentals! Just opened in April 2922, I think this is the only real boat rental…read moreoption at a reasonable price for a few hours for a family or group of people. We took out an 8-person pontoon out for 2 hours, which is a great starter amount of time. There is plenty of time to just cruise around and enjoy the James...but we also rented two paddle boards (for standing, sitting or laying on) that our kids and friend thoroughly enjoyed. We had enough time to go downstream just a little bit (past the power plant and just a bit further ... We decided to go upstream) then back the other way all the way up the 895 bridge. There is a pretty neat little place to see - the home where Jimmy Dean is buried (his "tombstone" is a black and white piano to right of house); I can't recall if he was born and/or lived there not if Jimmy Dean's children still own it but you can't miss the JD initials on on the side of the hill! So generally speaking it's really easy to pilot the pontoon - it does have a decent top speed but not nearly fast. The general rule is to stay in the middle of the river (there could be rocks, etc under the water that isn't visible) but when we wanted to just use the paddleboards or swim around, we went a little to the side and cut off the engine. It isn't easy to stand-up paddleboard; my son and almost all of us tried to only maybe a few seconds but still a lot of fun. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of photos to share since I was driving the pontoon but there were for late May, not too many boats on the James either and the weather was also quite nice! So the business - Tyler is the employee who you interact with and he was excellent to work with. We *thought* we booked it for a Saturday but apparently it was booked Sunday; he worked with us and made it work. The boat rental company offers three types of boats - two 6-person pontoons, two 8-person pontoons and then one larger fishing boat (don't really the details but I recall him saying it's definitely larger but the charter is for I believe 6 people). I know for our 8-person pontoon for 2 hours it costs $300. Each paddleboard is $50 to rent too. I really can't say if this price is great or not, but family that came with us said it sure was a good price!! Definitely recommend highly. I can say it may be a bit hard to get hold of Tyler beforehand, I think arriving there 30mins earlier is all that you'd need but we got there much earlier (thankfully since he didn't expect our reservation). He was readily available for calls or texts during the entire boating time.
