Call for schedule off-season. This store sells a variety of canoes and kayaks as well as paddling accessories, maps and guidebooks. Instructional clinics are available, and the staff at Great Outdoor Provision Co. will be happy to arrange demonstrations of the watercraft or equipment. The emphasis at Kayak Carolina is a promotion of the kayaking lifestyle, nature preservation, environmental education and, of course, lots of fun. The popular two hour guided tour, which includes a brief basic information clinic on kayaking techniques and safety, is a good introduction to the sport.
Guides are experience instructors and trained interpretive naturalists.
Other tours include day explorations of Zeke's and Masonboro Islands, nature tours, sunrise, sunset and full moon trips, family trips and more.
