My family took the sunset tour yesterday and had an amazing time. Ken and his team were super accommodating. Our family of 7 has very different skill levels and both tour guides made everyone feel comfortable and engaged. I would recommend them to anyone interested in a guided trip and I cant wait to go back!
These people are so great. They offer a personal experience by working very hard to work with your situation. I imagine everyone has different levels of experience and these people work with you to ensure that youll have an excellent time out on the water. This store is one Ill be going back to again and again.
Awesome service. Great paddle. Good day.
Attended Kens seminar on Navigating the Merrimack River with Ken Taylor of Plum Island Kayak at Kittery Trading Post yesterday. Ken delivered very interesting and exciting information about the area. I plan to join one of his tour this summer.
Super fun experience for a day trip. The owner was extremely friendly and so was all of his well informed staff. They even told us about upcoming weather conditions and were honest about when the best time to go would be so we could avoid a rain storm in the morning. The prices are very good.
I went on one of the seal tours and had a great time! I think the addition of the wildlife experts really made this tour unique. Id recommend to anyone who has a few hours for a great afternoon!
Question do you guys have kayaks that you move with your feet for saltwater?
Great tour today! Instructor explained everything before getting in the water, it was our first time kayaking and we enjoyed it! Will be going back!
Very nice people and lots of great paddling to be done in and around the area. Really good location for going up river, or over to Plum Island. They lose a star for being rather disorganized though. We were told when reserving our kayaks by phone that we needed to get on the water at 1 so we could paddle out with the tide. But it seems everyone else was also told to come at 1 pm and there was no process in place to receive customers, get them signed in and paid up, discuss the appropriate route and get them to the launch point at the time of their reservation. In the end we didn’t get in the water until 1:45 after arriving at 12:45. Perhaps they should give people staggered time slots, or have all staff on hand to sign customers in quickly when they all arrive at the prescribed time.
I did the Isles of Shoals trip with a group of 18 people and thoroughly enjoyed it! Kayaks are loaded onto a large boat, the boat goes directly to the islands, and the kayaks are offloaded for local paddling. This offers truly spectacular views of island geography and wildlife. You can also visit a couple of the inhabited islands. Then kayaks are reloaded and back to port. This trip is one of a kind and not to be missed!
Owner is super friendly and the prices are great! Such a fun time with the SUP!
Great service, the route was beautiful and they dropped us and picked us in specific points of the route. Youll have so much fun!!
This place is great. The tour guides really know what their doing. You can tell they have been trained well. Only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is a little expensive. Since they are on the river with current and provide transportation I guess it is well worth it.
I just spoke with a very sweet girl named Cloud. She was very knowledgeable and made finding safe spots to kayak a breeze. She also told me about maps on their website! That being said I will for sure go to them with all my yaking needs. Thanks again Cloud and PIK for your help!Ky Hersey
Just wanted to say thanks to the staff for a fantastic day. I would definitely recommend Plum Island Kayak to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing and enjoyable experience!
Participated in a tour over the weekend. It was unorganized and at times unsafe. No basic instruction was provided for those that have never kayaked. In fact, some people had their paddle backwards. People were strewn about in the water with oncoming boat traffic. Leadership was poor and the owner seemed unsure of the surrounding area which is not good. The tour would be better suited with fewer in the group.
Reasonable priced retail
Some internal miscommunication at the shop meant that we were delayed 15 minutes. The kayaks worked as intended, as did the borrowed paddles and (presumably) life-vests. The river through Newburyport is definitely worth a visit
Friendly guides, wonderful time. Highly recommend
GREAT staff, GREAT place, and best of all, a GREAT time, check these guys out!
Bought 2 used kayaks from them. End of year inventory sale.
An awesome day.
Amazing!
Excellent!!!
