About
This package is a private tour for 2 (ages 8 and up)
In this dreamy afternoon adventure for duos, enjoy a private guided tour of the Tuckahoe River. Keep your eyes peeled for eastern tiger salamanders, osprey, bald eagles, north diamondback terrapins, and blue crabs on your leisurely paddle through the Southern Pinelands. Our paddles are appropriate for paddlers of all levels, and our ACA-certified guide will tailor kayaking instruction, if needed, directly to your party.
After your paddle, head back to the homestead to tour the farm and enjoy a late lunch. After lunch, collect eggs from our organically fed free-range hens and hand-select six stems per person from our flower gardens. While you relax with the monarchs and hummingbirds, we will wash and package your eggs and arrange your flowers for you to take home.
This package does not include food. If you’re interested in a locally-sourced picnic lunch basket, you can add a “Nosh” upgrade at check-out for each guest. Nosh upgrades will include the best tastes of the Pinelands: think local cheese, artisanal seeded honey, seasonal fruits and veggies, local bread, etc. Vegan and vegetarian baskets are available upon request. Guests are also welcome to bring their own lunch. We can keep any perishable items cold for you while you paddle.
