This was a bucket list paddle for me, as I'm about 2.5 hours north. It was super convenient to book, and everything went flawlessly. Our driver was extremely pleasant and gave us a great history lesson on the pine Barrens on the way to the drop off. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
We took the Kayak Trip from Quaker Bridge to Batsto......awesome trip!! Beautiful scenery. Pinelands Adventures staff was great! Our driver to launch and from pick up was engaging and knowledgeable of river, local history, and lore. Staff recommended Fall trips for some great scenery. Great place for a day trip or overnight camp trip.
Visited this establishment yesterday. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We had our own kayaks and paid a $30 charge for drop off and pickup. There were 7 of us and we did the Quaker Bridge run. The staff were all awesome and so full of knowledge about the area. It’s a downstream run so really just steering involved. That was helpful for the few first time kayakers that were with us. Mostly covered by trees and beautiful nature. We did see some fire damage on the trip and they gave us a good explanation of how it happened and how it is controlled. Highly recommend this place!!
This by far exceeded our expectations! We were a group of 12, ages 10 to 68 and all had a great time. When I first contacted them they communicated well and convinced me to go kayak and not canoe, great decision! When we arrived we were greeted so warmly and all was explained clearly. We did the 4 hour trip and the scenery was breathtaking! Michael our driver blew us away with so much interesting information about the area and he was so sweet and helpful. I highly recommend this place and it's perfect for a group outing.
They are very knowledgeable about the area, from soil to biodiversity to its history. Since a storm was approaching they made sure to contact us and pull us out of the river before it even hit. However signal is hardly there in a few places.
Single kayaking for 4 hours was a great experience even for a beginner like me , was fortunate enough to have good weather while out there. Lot of places to get stuck, helps to have people around if you’re a beginner on a self guided trip.
