Itinerary
The Cape Cod Explorer tour operates exclusively in the Game Creek Conservation land. It is a beautiful tidal flat called Scorton Creek that is fed from Cape Cod Bay and is part of the Great Marsh eco-system. There is a amazing amount of bird activity, wildlife, and overall nature to view throughout our tour. This area consists of salt water, brackish water, and fresh water so the variation of plant and wildlife is astounding!

Great trip and our guide was wonderful! Everyone wants to do this again. Thanks for the adventure
We're so happy to hear what a great trip and experience you had with us! Thank you for the wonderful review, and we look forward to seeing you again!
Parking and pre-tour prep - was very poor. Unfortunately - we went on Saturday - the direction given to the site was very, very weak. Once we arrived - parking was a disaster. the company would be best served to provide a shuttle from their location. I would not advise this tour on a weekend, as too many use the same location - and parking is very, very poor. Best of luck with the rest of you summer.
The parking is a public lot and it was far more congested with people than we have ever seen it. That was not an ideal situation or the norm as you can see from other reviews. Hopefully your time on the water was enjoyable and I'm sorry the parking and frustration leading up to it was the main takeaway for you.
This is the second time I’ve done this with my kids, it’s a nice way to get out on a pond for a couple of hours and understand more about the natural environment and wildlife birds, turtles, etc., in the area as well as the history of the community. We paddle about 3 miles around the pond. The guy was quite knowledgeable and we found this very family friendly, not too difficult activity.
Thank you for the wonderful review! It is always a great way to get some exercise, while also it being a calm and family friendly experience!
Kevin was superb. It was a blustery day but he took very good care of us. He kept us together in the wind, was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. Since the wind made things difficult he took us on a short walk through the park when we got off the water, telling us about the history of the area and about the plants and wildlife. It was a wonderful experience. They went above and beyond.
The kayaking was in a scenic gorgeous salt marsh. Was a nice enjoyable paddle. I have been on many of these kinds of tours. I have seen much more attentive guides, making sure the kayakers were able to maneuver and get in and out. This trip was not that. Have also had experiences with pictures taken that were more purposeful and meaningful. Great kayak not my favorite company.
Thank you for your review, and we appreciate your feedback! Please let us know how we could have made your trip more memorable!
I had such a great time! This group is very professional and had all the equipment ready for us. The guides were so knowledgable about Cape Cod. I highly recommend them!
Thank you for the 5 star review! We love hearing the wonderful experiences our customers have!
We had a perfect weather day, our guides Kiernan and Ellen were both kind and knowledgeable!
We're ecstatic to hear what a great trip you had with Kiernan and Ellen! Thank you for the great review!
Excellent guides and beautiful vistas!
We're so glad you had a great day! Thank you for the 5 star review!
I would definitely recommend taking a kayak tour, especially if you're new to kayaking. Our guide, Kevin, was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. He provided clear instructions on proper paddling techniques, which helped everyone feel comfortable on the water. During the tour, we learned about the local wildlife and gained interesting insights about the waterways we were exploring. Kevin was patient and attentive throughout the trip, even towing one of our group members who was not a strong paddler. Overall, it was a fun, educational, and memorable outing, and I highly recommend it.
We're so glad to hear that you had such a positive experience not just with paddle boarding, but seeing all of our wonderful wildlife. Thank you for giving Kevin serious credit, and for the review!
Rideaway and our guide were great. We had a leisurely paddle up the creek to the bay, saw osprey, shorebirds, and crabs. Even saw a shark egg sack! Very relaxing!
