Top Cape Cod Kayaking & Canoeing

Great experience and we highly recommend it.

Two hour leisurely paddle in Mashpee, beautiful area with a stop at Popponessett spit - the water was calm and our guide shared interesting facts about the birds, coast and marine life. And a great sunset!

We booked a kayaking adventure with 2 instructors as a family of 5 with kids ranging from 12-18. The trip was excellent and one of our favourite things we did on our whole holiday. The instructors were excellent - friendly, engaging, extremely knowledgable about the local environment, bird life and history of the area. The trip was not rushed and was extremely well organised. We had so much fun. What a great experience. Kids loved it. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone.

We had the most amazing pirate experience today, it was MORE than expected, and really well organised and thought through from start to finish. We have been on holiday for two weeks, and this was the best thing we have done the whole time. Can’t recommend it enough. Amy did a great job both for those inexperienced, experienced and children from the paddle boarding side of things, even with very small children!

Had a wonderful and beautiful time kayaking with Maddie. One of my friends had never kayaked before, and she gave us brief and informative lessons. We were guided through a beautiful area onto a spit of beach inaccessible by car. We did a little bit of exploring before heading off into another area where we saw a peregrine falcon perched on its nest up close. Beautiful scenery, and a bit of a workout while also relaxing.

Another great tour with Rideaway. We try to take this tour every year. It’s one of the highlights of our week on the Cape annually. Mike was a great guide. Highly recommend people make the time and effort to tour Poponesset Bay.

What a brilliant idea to have a marine biologist guide. Kaitlyn was treat and the conditions were perfect! Thanks for a grand experiential family activity to end the day!

Great trip and our guide was wonderful! Everyone wants to do this again. Thanks for the adventure

This is the second time I’ve done this with my kids, it’s a nice way to get out on a pond for a couple of hours and understand more about the natural environment and wildlife birds, turtles, etc., in the area as well as the history of the community. We paddle about 3 miles around the pond. The guy was quite knowledgeable and we found this very family friendly, not too difficult activity.

Our guide Maddie was knowledgeable, courteous, helpful, and prompt. Lovely scenery on calm waters. Kayaks are well maintained and easy to navigate. Hint: GPS takes you to other side of marina. Not far away. Look for the blue sign.

We had the best time on this adventure. Simon our tour guide was wonderful. He was personable, knowledgeable and made our day wonderful. This was a delightful kayaking trip and we got to see lots of wildlife including osprey, blue heron, snowy egret, and green heron. Simon explained so much to us about the area, wildlife, vegetation etc which we really enjoyed learning about! I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone.

It was super fun ! We had Kyle as our guide he was very knowledgeable and helpful . My daughter found this adventure and loved it told me I had to go. She was right a must do if you are near Mashpee .

A friend and I signed up for the sunset kayak tour and it turned out it was just us... and they still did the tour! Kaitlyn did an amazing job! How incredible that we had a marine biologist share details about the wildlife and the sealife along the spit. Given it was after Labor Day, the waters were still and quiet and we were essentially out there all by ourselves. It was beautiful. We saw the oyster beds and walked the spit. Learned about molting horseshoe crabs and saw several stunning blue crab legs with red tips on the claws. We learned about how birds swoop in to get shellfish and then drop them on the docks to break the shells. Kaitlyn took photos of our journey and was happy to accommodate our requests for poses! We saw the sunset and then because we were ahead of schedule we kayaked to another bay to see the oyster farms. We kayaked back by moonlight. We felt safe the entire time but it was reassuring to know that the tour guides are certified in rescuing and Kaitlyn is even an EMT. She was a charming guide and we greatly enjoyed this!! Bonus that they take and post your pictures so you don't need to worry about bringing along your phone/camera.

Kevin was superb. It was a blustery day but he took very good care of us. He kept us together in the wind, was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. Since the wind made things difficult he took us on a short walk through the park when we got off the water, telling us about the history of the area and about the plants and wildlife. It was a wonderful experience. They went above and beyond.

I had a great morning paddle. The evening sunset paddle was canceled and is the reason for the 4-star. My guide, Mike, is knowledgeable about the seaways we were paddling and pointed out nesting birds and sea creatures on the tour. I would do this again and ask for Mike. It was a great experience.

The kayaking was in a scenic gorgeous salt marsh. Was a nice enjoyable paddle. I have been on many of these kinds of tours. I have seen much more attentive guides, making sure the kayakers were able to maneuver and get in and out. This trip was not that. Have also had experiences with pictures taken that were more purposeful and meaningful. Great kayak not my favorite company.
