Thanks Cricker for a really nice paddle in the sound. We enjoyed listening to your knowledge of the area and learning some things I didn't know. It was nice to spend some time alone on the water away from everyone else. Coastal Explorations has great kyacks and equipment and seemed very flexable in order to make your trip special. Highly...

We are vacationing in Corolla NC and decided we wanted to go kayaking. We called around and Corolla Explorations had the best deal. There were nine adults and one twelve year old. Our tour guide Anne was awesome. We went outside, put on our life jackets, and went down to the dock. Not all of us had kayaked before so... More

We went out this morning with our two kids and Zoe as our guide. It was great! CE has by far the best location to really enjoy the beauty of Corolla/Outer Banks. Other than the SUPs we saw initially, we didn't seen any other people on our trip. Their kayaks and life jackets were nice and very clean too. Our... More

Our family enjoyed our trip with Zoe this summer. We tend to take guided tours because we enjoy learning about the area and also so we don't get lost in the channels. Nonetheless, we also enjoy taking our time as we go, so we can enjoy nature. Zoe was quite knowledgable about Corolla's history and the marsh area vegetation and... More

Our morning tour was led by Cricker, who was a friendly and knowledgeable guide of the area. He started with ensuring our kayak seating was well-fitted and gave us instructions on paddling. Our tour consisted of a family with some teens, me and my 9 year-old daughter. During our tour, Cricker pointed out some area wildlife, duck hunting structures, islands,... More

Our party of 10 included family members ranging in age from 12 to 60. Some had kayaking experince, many did not. Some in the party were not happy about our drive from Duck to Corolla, noting other kayak rentals along the way. It was worth the drive to Corolla. At first, not everyone was excited about this adventure, (myself included!)... More

Booked a Sunset Trip and it was a huge hit with teenagers! Liz took us on a guided tour around Currituck Sound and narrated the route with facts on local history, flora and fauna. The 2 hour trip was just right for a family with three teens. It kept their attention and was soooo beautiful to watch the sun set.... More

Cricker was our guide and he did a terrific job! My family enjoyed kayaking on the sound side as it was an easy transition into the water from the dock, and an interesting experience in the water as well. Cricker pointed out birds, and landmarks and explained a lot about the area we were paddling through. He was also super... More

Our late teen/young adult daughters had a terrific time learning to do stand-up paddle boarding with Cricker. This nature tour company is located close to the lighthouse in a picturesque setting. The staff were laid back but efficient, pleasant and knowledgable. We highly recommend this group and hope to use them again in the future for kayaking, boating and paddle... More
