Kayaking in Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve


We continued our October 2015 visit to the Outer Banks of North Carolina with a guided kayak tour on Jean Guite Creek through the Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve. Based on a recommendation from family members, we made a reservation with Kitty Hawk Kayaks for their Kitty Hawk Maritime Forest Kayak Tour. Although this is their most popular tour, our group of four were the only customers for the morning paddle. Our excellent tour guide had several years of experience leading tours and took time to describe some of the unique aspects of the ecosystem of the reserve as we leisurely paddled. Due to some downed trees across the creek, we had to turn back a bit sooner than planned. This provided us with opportunities to learn more about specific plants while we enjoyed the tranquility of the forest.








The Kitty Hawk maritime Forest Kayak Tour is $45 per person and takes about two hours.
