Glowing Night Kayaking & Nick the tour guide rocked! - Pretty fun evening outing… Something a little different. Who doesn't love glow-in-the-dark stuff… And glow-in-the-dark kayaks are super fun! Nick did a phenomenal job explaining the wildlife, hurricanes and all of the different shells on the beach. It was nice to do something fun and educational. 100% recommend bug spray and long sleeves… I wish I would've worn leggings because after we watched the sunset and played in the ocean… All of our bugs spray wore off and our legs were a bug buffet! lol but it was worth it… Nice memories, awesome sunset!

Night Kayak Tour - We went on a night guided kayak tour with Nick as our guide. It was a rewarding experience we kayaked for about 15 mins, then hiked up a private beach (Big Hickory Island), where Nick showed us so many types of sea life (conch, whelp, crabs etc.), as well as different type of birds. He was extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour. Bring mosquitoe spray!
