Ecobay Kayak & SUP - Ocean View, Delaware

We had a wonderful time kayaking with Ecobay! The day we booked for was particularly windy so the owner, Lisa, called to see if we were ok with a different course. It was wonderful! The perfect cool night for a trip. Our guide Bruce was awesome! He was extremely knowledgeable of the waterways, coastal birds, and much more! Highly recommend!

Upon arrival at the free parking lot, we were initially unsure of where to find the ecobay. However, clear signage soon led us down a short trail to our destination. Despite the slightly inclement weather, we had an absolute blast. Bruce was an outstanding guide, introducing the kids to clam hunting and showing them the delightful 'clam dance'. Natalie was exceptional in keeping the girls entertained; they had so much fun. The small creek nearby provided another adventurous spot for the children to explore.
We will definitely do this again ! Thank you, Bruce and Natalie, for the fun we had on the water!

We absolutely loved our kayaking adventures at Ecobay Kayak! We stayed at Delaware Seashore State Campground for the weekend. One of the employees recommended Ecobay at the nature preserve. Hands down the best experience from the initial phone call, booking online, navigating a new area and the manager allowing us to split our 2 hour rental over two days. Pro tip: one hour self guided is enough for the area allowed to explore. But going back the next day we saw different birds in the marshes so not salty about it at all! Plus our pup was much more confident on day 2.

James Farm Ecological Preserve
Our paddleboard adventure with Ecobay at the James Farm Ecological Preserve was an absolute delight! My daughter and her friends had an unforgettable day exploring the serene waters and stunning natural beauty of this pristine location.

From the moment we arrived, the staff at Ecobay was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the environment. They provided thorough safety instructions and expert guidance on paddleboarding techniques, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and prepared for the adventure ahead.

As we glided across the tranquil waters of the preserve, surrounded by lush marshlands and diverse wildlife, it felt like we had entered a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The beauty of the surroundings was truly breathtaking, and we were fortunate enough to spot various bird species and marine life along the way.

The paddleboarding experience itself was both relaxing and exhilarating, offering a perfect balance of tranquility and adventure. My daughter and her friends had a blast navigating the waters, testing their skills, and enjoying the freedom of being out on the water.

Overall, our paddleboard adventure with Ecobay at the James Farm Ecological Preserve exceeded all expectations. It was a day filled with fun, learning, and unforgettable memories. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to connect with nature, enjoy outdoor activities, while visting the Delaware Shore . Thank you, Ecobay, for a truly fantastic adventure!

We always have a courteous and helpful experience from very knowledgeable people when we rent kayaks here. You can tell they like what they do! They are also knowledgeable about the bay and know where to tell us to sail so we can see different wildlife. You can't beat the prices either! We will definitely be back!!
