What a wonderful, safe way to explore the world during the pandemic.

We had a great afternoon on the water with this outfitter. They set us up with kayaks and life jackets, explained the area to us, and helped us launch and land. What a wonderful, safe way to explore the world during the pandemic.

I'd recommend these guys in a heart beat to anyone looking to paddle while having a relaxing time on the water.

Today marks my 2nd visit to A Day Away Kayaks in under a month and there's good reason for that. Reasonable prices, great relaxing kayak time on the river with tons of cool sights (my favorite was an awesome little sandbar area to cool off on a hot day) and last but not least is there incredible customer service. I had the pleasure of working with a staff member named Jesse on both of my visits and both times he was A+. Not only was he just a down to earth cool dude but he was also knowledgeable on the spots to check out on the river. He remembered us right away on my 2nd visit which makes A Day Away a more personal experience...I'd recommend these guys in a heart beat to anyone looking to paddle while having a relaxing time on the water.

ADAK was amazing! Honestly, a perfect day on the water from the equipment rental/set up to the actual weather.

The customer service here is top notch, and they try to go above and beyond for you. Truly customer centric. Really makes it feel like a personal experience no matter how many other patrons/groups may also be waiting to get out. Prices were also super affordable! Not to mention, their Yelp check-in offer of $5 off. The river itself is plenty wide for everyone and has a very calm current for any level of kayaker or paddle boarder. There's also plenty of little hideaways, marshes, and waterfalls to explore. Equipment was in great shape too, but I will say that they probably need to buy more considering they got so busy they had to start turning away people. I guess it's not the worst problem in the world, it's better than dead, but it is lost revenue at the end of the day.

I would 100% comeback here and highly recommend to all my fellow Yelpers! Definitely make a reservation ahead of time.
