5.0Blackwater Adventures(130 reviews) - Wonderful tours with amazing guides and very friendly as well as knowledgeable staff! Sunday: Bike Tours • Water Sports • Boat Rentals • Kayaking & Canoeing
I have taken kayak tours both on the Little Blackwater River and now on the Transquaking river and have had a magnificent time on every occasion. Frank is a wonderful guide pointing out wildlife and their stories with respect and love for these wonderful beings. All of the staff (including Jamie and Casey as well as Frank) have been wonderful and friendly to me taking time to explain the wilderness here and help to map out wonderful adventures. I highly recommend these tours to anyone who wants to experience this beautiful space nature has provided with wonderful guides!!!See more..
This trip is an adrenaline pumping experience. I've been on 10 rafting trips in various rivers in West Virginia and Colorado and this trip was the most thrilling by far. We rafted on 4-17-21 on a cold day and had a blast. Precision Rafting is a highly professional operation. The Upper Yough is a difficult, technical river, but we felt safe the entire trip due to the competence and care of the guides and the support kayak team. We fell out at the National class 5 rapid and were quickly rescued. I never felt in danger because as soon as I popped up, a kayak was there to support me. Also, our guide Scott was fantastic. I highly recommend Precision Rafting.See more..
The Aquatic Center has the best boats on deep creek lake! The staff is very nice and helpful when it came to all of my families questions. We got the 115 pontoon and were very excited to receive the newest silver boat in the fleet! When we came back the staff helped us out with gassing the boat and made the check out process extremely quick and easy. Would 100% recommend the Aquatic Center to anyone who is renting at the lake. :)See more..
We visited the Environmental Center during a busy summer weekend on Kent Island and in Grasonville and hardly anyone was there. And yet, it was one of the best attractions we experienced in Maryland and on the island! At the Center, you're given a map of several miles of trails all around the Center. Each trail is short and beautifully appointed with wonderful experiences for observing birds and other wildlife. There are also enclosures with rescued owls and haws for up close observation. There are ponds, streams, lakes and ocean. There are wooden land bridges and observation platforms. The drive in to the Center includes places to stop and read about the ecology of the area. It's a fantastically educational experience. And the staff are lovely, too. We only had about an hour and a half, but there was so much more offered by the Center. Can't wait to return!See more..
5.0Bay Venture Outfitters(38 reviews) - Relaxing Family Outing surrounded by the beauty of nature Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Boat Rentals • Kayaking & Canoeing
We booked this trip the night before Memorial Day and were so glad we did. This was a needed mini vacation for our family after COVID quarantine. They online booking and waiver submission was seem less. The operator is following all safety protocol with social distancing and cleaning. The staff was very helpful in explaining the basics in kayaking, where we could go and helped pull our kayaks in and out of the water. North East is also a cute little town to explore with many shops and carry out restaurant opportunities. We loved the serenity of our Kayak adventure. We spotted Osprey, an Eagle, Comorants, and turtles. There is a cute waterfront park nearby with pavilions. We had a picnic lunch there and then ventured on to Elk Neck State Park to see the beach area and lighthouse.See more..
5.0Pocomoke River Canoe Company(33 reviews) - Paddle Boards Temporarily closed - Closed until further notice Kayaking & Canoeing
We camped at Shad Landing in Pocomoke River State Forrest and drove here for our girls to paddle board. Nice guys running the place, calm river for the kids to paddle board and a $5 discount if you show proof of camping at Shad Landing. We inquired about canoe trips - sounded fun but we didn’t end up going. See more..
Jim provided excellent insight on what wildlife to keep an eye open for and where to site it. Throughout the course of my paddling journey I spotted multiple bald eagles, osprey, herons and more. His guidance on which "path" to follow provided a beautiful and peaceful journey inland past old farms and homes. He accommodated my short notice on a kayak rental, and permitted me to use his golf cart and trailer so that I could extend my trip. All in all a wonderful day in a beautiful location.See more..
Great tour of the wrecks (and nature) at Mallows Bay. Friendly, informative guides. Good for all skill levels. We went very close to low tide, so the wrecks were pretty close to maximum visibility. In addition to the ghost ships, we saw osprey, bald eagles and egrets. I highly recommend AKC and this tour.See more..
5.0Sultana Education Foundation(24 reviews) - Sultana Public Paddles: A "must-do" when visiting the upper Chesapeake Bay area! Nature & Wildlife Tours • Kayaking & Canoeing
Yesterday was another great day of kayaking in the upper Chesapeake Bay area with our fearless leaders, John and Chris, who are a wealth of information about the bay, John Smith and the Indian tribes he encountered in this area, and the plants, animals, and birds that call the Chesapeake Bay their home. Sultana's Public Paddles are leisurely 2.5 hour trips in some of the most beautiful and best kept secret areas of the bay. We have done all of their paddles time and again and always enjoy kayaking with them. What a great way to get some exercise and enjoy nature while meeting some of the nicest people you will ever meet! Don't forget your camera and binoculars if you have them!See more..
4.5Chesapeake Paddle Sports(23 reviews) - A perfect Saturday morning Gear Rentals • Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing
On Saturday morning I attended the Standup Paddle board yoga class! It was so much fun. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our instructor Mercedes led us through a beautiful practice which was the perfect blend of ease and challenge and there was always a modification if someone was not comfortable in a particular posture. I highly recommend this class to all - no matter your yoga experience or paddle board skill level!See more..
4.5Ultimate Watersports(22 reviews) - LOVE Ultimate Watersports!! Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Sports Camps & Clinics • Surfing & Windsurfing • Boat Rentals • Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing
All 3 locations are fantastic in different ways: Dundee Creek tends to be the least busy and most protected from wind, Hammerman Beach is a bit more challenging and boasts lots of wildlife, and Sunset Cove has relatively calm water and a built-in opportunity for beachside lunch/cocktail post row. My husband and I took a SUP lesson 3 years ago (which I would highly recommend before settling sail - you'll save a ton of time and aggravation for yourself) and have been hooked ever since. The staff is lovely and the owner is an absolute GEM. We decided to purchase SUPs for ourselves this year and opted for a set of used boards from Ultimate. They are in great condition and we are always well-taken care of. We will continue to spread our love of SUP with friends and bring them to Ultimate every time!See more..

5.0Ultimate Watersports(4 reviews) - Super Fun Day! Sunday: 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM Surfing & Windsurfing • Boat Rentals • Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing
Ultimate Watersports is an excellent place to get your outdoor adventure fix! The new location is super convenient to get to and to park. No entrance or parking fees! Rental and instruction costs are very reasonable. There are bathrooms and picnic tables on site to round out your day. Free lockers available too. We took a one hour SUP lesson and then took our boards out on our own for another hour. Angelina was an amazing teacher. Very patient and very good at explaining how to do everything. I highly recommend trying Stand Up Paddle-boarding at Ultimate Watersports. They will make you feel at ease and help you get up and paddling in no time! It’s great for families, groups, couples or individuals. There are also other types of watercraft available. Life jackets provided. I will definitely be returning! I love Ulitmate Watersports!
