First time kayaking - one single for me (mom), dad and 8 yr old daughter did a 2 person. The guy who checked us in was super knowledgeable. At the put out location the kids working there were efficient and knowledgeable as well. The trip was great (except my shoulders got tired). We saw 2 osprey in a nest. Tons... More

Good location, excellent equipment, reasonable price. A fun few hours on the water.

I will share however. It is a great place to kayak, and for first timers you will feel safe doing so.

You can head the other direction, away from the ocean,f you feel the current... More

I recently moved to Holland, and miss kayaking, so I looked on... More

They go over paddle instructions so that if you are a beginner you will have basic kayaking knowledge. The staff is quick to answer questions that you may have. They give you direction and tell...

Not impressed with Howie's Kayaks My husband really wanted to rent kayaks while in New England. So we rented some for an hour at Howie's Kayaks. They launched from a gravel parking lot that was just sad. Then they had us paddle against high tide as it was coming in and against the wind. The girl said that she was... More
