We rented a Kayak and a sup for 2 hours. The stuff is super friendly and helpful. We had a great time and we saw dolphins. A really fun time, most recommended!

This was such a nice experience. You can tell it's family-run. Great value and good people.

Our family of four had a great experience on the guided kayaking tour. Hailey called us the day of our scheduled tour to let us know that it was too windy, and we were able to reschedule for the next day. Hunter was a great tour guide. Very polite, and provided great suggestions for local spots. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins on our trip, but it was still fun and something different to do. Would definitely use this company again when we are in the area.

We booked a 2-3 hour tour with Castaway while on vacation. Our party was 3 adults and 3 kiddos. Hailey took us down the creek. We had barely cleared the bridge when we saw the first dolphins. Although we didn’t witness it she explained strand feeding and how it is characteristic of dolphins in their area. She took us to an oyster bed and showed the kids oysters and explained plough (pluff) mud. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the dolphins and wildlife and had some charming stories about her family and their life here. The equipment was top notch. We used Liquidlogic tandem kayaks with great seat-backs (they were very solid) and working foot braces. Very stable even with a squirmy kiddo “helping” me paddle. The life jackets were a great fit for everyone from child to XXL adult (also not musty smelling). It’s clear Hailey takes great care of her equipment and customers. We enjoyed the tour very much and will book again. Highly recommended!
