Kayak Scorton Creek on Cape Cod’s Great Marsh system. Small groups, expert guides, great birding, and a calm tidal-water paddle.
“Such a nice and peaceful waterway to kayak on. Beautiful nature! Kyle was a fabulous tour guide. We went on a Monday and 3 of us pretty much had a private tour. Fabulous time”
Paddle Popponesset Bay at sunset from Mashpee, see The Spit, spot wildlife, and learn from small-group guides on a 2-hour kayak tour.
“It was super fun ! We had Kyle as our guide he was very knowledgeable and helpful . My daughter found this adventure and loved it told me I had to go. She was right a must do if you are near Mashpee .”
Kayak the Great Marsh from East Sandwich. Clean gear, friendly help, self-paced 3-hour paddle with current-assisted return for $50.
“We had a great time kayaking! We planned our trip for the morning, which turned out to be a smart choice. The route takes you against the current on the way out toward the ocean and with the current on the return, which made paddling back much easier — especially if you’re a bit tired. It was a manageable and relaxing ride — even my 70-year-old mother handled it with no problem.”
Guided kayak rentals in Popponesset Bay, Mashpee. Top gear, friendly help, wildlife spotting, and an easy beach launch for $50.
“Kayaking at Popponesset Bay was amazing! The area is so beautiful and the water was very refreshing when I fell out of the kayak reaching for a shell! lol! 🤣 Will was super nice, helping us prep for our adventure! Highly recommend!”
