Sunset Salt Marsh Tours
 

Join us for the magic as nature comes to rest at the end of the day and prepares for the peace of the evening.

Harriers, Ospreys, Great Blue Herons, Egrets, Marsh Wrens, Redwing Blackbirds all attend to final details for the day as they yield control of the sky to the emerging twilight. Even the wind comes to rest, pausing to witness the panoramic vista as the setting sun floods the western sky with color. Quiet surrounds you as all the creatures of the day breath deep the lingering warmth. With a sigh of contentment, stars twinkle a herald to the unique end of another day.

Sunset on the salt marsh is always a unique experience. No two are ever the same. How many have you seen? Do you really want to miss another?

Paddle Shack guided salt marsh tours will interest novice and experienced kayakers. Trips will include basic safety and paddling instruction. 

Your kayak for this 3 hour excursion will be selected based upon your experience  and preferences. Paddle Shack offers stable recreation style kayaks, as well as more advanced touring kayaks. Stable, speedy, and maneuverable, these sit in kayaks offer a great platform for observing nature. To help with nature watching, you may request waterproof   binoculars and a waterproof bird identification chart.

Tours will leave from either English Creek Marina, located at the southern tip of Wharf Road off Somers Point-Mays Landing Road, or Jeffers Landing at the end of Jeffers Landing Road off Somers Point-Mays Landing Road.

Bring your own liquid and munchies, perhaps a shirt or jacket in case you chill easily, occasionally insect repellant is helpful at the launch site. Waterproof dry bags (available at Paddle Shack) are recommend as additional security for items you wish to keep totally dry.
