Beautiful sunset kayak tour - Emily was a wonderful tour guide and the Crane Estate was beautiful. We loved getting the whole backstory of the refuge and the three houses on the islands, and learning about the sea creatures that inhabit the area. Watching the sunset from our kayaks was especially magical!

Great Nature Day Trip Getaway from Boston - Living in the city without car can make it difficult to get out to nature adventures, but the Keolis kayak daytrip package makes it super easy! The pick up from the Ipswich commuter rail station by Mike and drop off at Crane Beach and subsequent pick up was seamless, and the kayak group of 7 came with two experienced kayak guides. I got to spend a few peaceful hours on the water, and got to see the marshes, the beaches and the dunes. Afterwards, Mike took me to the Clam Box where we got some great fried seafood classics - a rewarding treat after a day of kayaking! A special thank you to Mike, who was very personable and easy to talk with, and made the excursion an extra enjoyable one!

Great day trip! Will book again - The trip was amazing. The highlight was definitely the driver (Mike) he was very friendly, on time to pick us up, and shared a bit of the history of Crane Estate. The kayak tour was great the water was calm with just a bit of a current, and we enjoyed the pit stop at the beach. We will definitely book again in the summer and if they offer Winter day trips (to ski, or other winter activities) I would book every week!

A wonderful day with Keolis Mass Adventure - We had such a great trip! Mike, the driver, picked us up from the Ipswich Commuter Rail platform, and dropped us at our kayak pick-up point on Crane Beach. We had a great kayak trip on Castle Neck River; I am a newbie birding enthusiast, and the kayak guides pointed out osprey, great egrets, and willets. We made a brief stop on the backside of Crane Beach, and walked into the dunes, which was beautiful. After returning to Crane Beach, Mike picked us up for a stop at the Clam Box before taking us back to the train. Mike was such a friendly person! We really enjoyed chatting with him throughout the day. He also made all parts of the transportation extremely smooth.
