Adventure Tips
Wear a Life Jacket at All Times
Each kayak rental includes a life jacket—always keep it on for safety on the water.
Check Tide Times Before You Paddle
Roanoke Sound’s tidal nature affects water levels; paddling at high tide offers the best access to marshes and channels.
Bring Sun Protection
The sound’s open waters offer little shade—use sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect against UV rays.
Pack Water and Snacks
Although rentals last about an hour, staying hydrated and energized is important, especially on warm days.
