Our Mission Statement

To create a wake, whose ripples provide our guests with a sense of wonder about the natural world, while minimizing our impact on the daily lives of the non-human neighbors whose home we share.

Visit our location in Talbot Islands State Parks - Long Island Outfitters

Where you can.......

Join a Guided Kayak / Nature Tour
Guided tours are planned to go with the current and start with a short instruction on land. You will then paddle to a sandbar for a snack and swim in warm weather. Then paddle to the take out location. Along the way the naturalists describe the salt marsh eco-system, critters and local history. Fee $55/person (includes all gear and a snack) (reservations required)

OR
Create your own adventure
and Rent a canoe or Kayak
We supply the kayak or canoe, PFD's, paddles and map. Depending on the tide and weather we can make suggestions routes, local sites and what to avoid. All rentals leave from our location and need to stay here in the State Park. So that means paddling against the current half the time. We have sit in and sit on top kayaks. The office is open from 9am-5pm everyday. No reservations for rentals. Map of the area

Explore the uplands hammock of Talbot Islands State Parks. This is NOT mountain biking! We will peddle the gently rolling trails on comfy Trek 300 bikes. Huge old oak trees shade the path. Various song birds, gopher tortoises, armadillos are the local residents. (reservations required)
