Great location to kayak! Our Guide Ally could not have been more nice. She was so knowledgeable about the Wildlife, area and gave great tips for things to see and do while here on our vaca. The weather was insanely perfect for us but it was Rideaway Adventures staff that made this 100 percent amazing! Great price to pay for such a fabulous day. Highly recommend visitors doing the Poppensette kayak trip.
We recently rented 2 tandem kayaks from the fantastic team at Rideaway. The equipment was top notch, the weather and location were perfect, and this activity really made the weekend for us. It’s a great way to unplug and connect with the outdoors, get just a little exercise (though they have options for folks looking to work a little harder), and see parts of Cape Cod most visitors don’t get to experience. But above all, the staff was second to non. Knowledgeable, super friendly, with an obvious customer-first focus. Will come back for sure.
As an avid kayaker living full-time on Cape Cod, I highly recommend Rideaway Adventures! I had family visiting from Florida and needed additional equipment to share my love of kayaking with them. Rideaway Adventures went above and beyond to create the perfect experience for us. They were flexible and easily rescheduled my trip when rain was predicted on my initial date. Its been a rainy July and I appreciated this! I interacted with the owner and two staff members, all top-notch professionals. William got us set-up for our trip and he was kind, informative, and helpful. Thank you for a great adventure, Rideaway!
Renting kayaks from Rideaway (twice) was a highlight of our week on the Cape. We especially enjoyed paddling up the Mashpee River. Lots of beautiful birds especially herons and cormorants. The water was teeming with life, fish jumping and crabs scuttling along. The bay was also very nice- this is just a great location. The boats were some of the best Ive ever rented- good quality, comfortable and well maintained. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend!!!
Took a group of 8 out on a team building exercise with Mike & Callie. It was great. We had fun, got some exercise in (without it being too challenging), and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Highly recommended.
Myself, my boyfriend and his two kids had a 2-3 hour kayak rental this past weekend and it was a great experience! Called the morning-of for a reservation, woman on the phone was very nice, we got 2 tandems. We got there a few minutes late and the two guys at check-in were friendly and quick. Kayak ride was amazing! Quick 15-20 ride to a gorgeous beach where you can pull up and spend some time. Will be back!
My daughter and I had an absolutely magical time. It was so fun. My daughter is 10 and to see her take on this new experience was such a delight. Our tour guide Molly gave us such clear easy to follow instructions we were able to thoroughly enjoy the experience even though we had never kayaked before. Cant recommend enough!
Mike and his crew are absolutely top-notch. My first encounter with RideAway was the prompt phone call I received after inquiring through their website what kayak tour would be best-suited for our family. The woman I spoke to was polite and extremely helpful with her suggestions.In addition to booking the tour, after we arrived at our rental, we decided to rent a kayak and paddle board for delivery. The delivery fee was reasonable and Mike phoned to let us know when he was on his way to drop off the rentals. Upon arrival, he gave us a quick lesson on Paddle boarding 101. I really appreciated his emphasis on safety as well as technique during the lesson. Again, on the day our rentals were set to end, Will phoned to let us know he was on his way to retrieve the items.Excellent communication that didn’t end there. About an hour before our kayak excursion, Mike called to ask if we had any questions. The kayak tour itself was excellent. Mike is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the ecosystem. Again, his kayaking 101 lesson was comprehensive and included pointers on technique and safety.Top-notch service, top-notch people!
My teen kids and I had a great time on the kayak tour in Mashpee. Our tour guide was really friendly and knowledgeable about the things he shared with us. The only thing that I would say is that I thought the tour would be a little more focused on the ecosystem - the surrounding area and animals/fish etc. We did learn about a few things, but not a ton, and the tour was mainly through a waterway lined with houses. I had been hoping it was a more natural environment. Im thinking this likely was my fault - maybe I didnt read the description on the website thoroughly. Either way, though, we still had a wonderful time and would use Rideaway again. Great company to deal with and the kayaks and life jackets were in excellent shape, and the employees were super down to earth. I might just try a different tour next time.
My daughters and I took the Full Moon Kayak tour earlier this summer and it was spectacular. We saw the colors of sunset and the amazing full moon rising over the sea. Our guide was fun, friendly, and taught us a great deal about the natural life in the area. We saw loads of wildlife. It was a fantastic adventure and so much fun to be on the water at night, while also knowing that we would be safe!
My wife and I went on the Full Moon Adventure Kayak Tour- it was awesome! Perfect balance of information about how to kayak, the area and its ecology, some humor, and fun along the way. It was a relaxing and breathtaking experience.
Highly recommend!! My 2 adult kids and I booked the kayaking trip and enjoyed it so much. Matt was our guide and was informative and very attentive. We loved it so much we booked the Walk on Water paddle boarding trip at Lawrence Pond and were so pleased to have Matt again as our guide. This may have been the highlight of our vacation!!!
Cruised around the Neighborhood on a bike fro Rideaway Adventures. I took a cruiser and it was the perfect thing for a ride around Poppy. I hadnt been on a bike in years so staff helped me pick the right height and had a helmet for me. Quick and easy to check in and out.
A bucket list item for me to check off! I am in to full moons, quiet water and seeing the area from a different perspective. This experience hit the bullseye for me. Thank you to Mike and Molly for adding your knowledge and expertise.
Wonderful experience! I highly recommend it for anyone traveling to the area. My husband and I did the sunset kayaking tour it was incredible
My 12-year old son and I had a lesson with instructor Brett. She was excellent with observation and guidance. We LOVED IT and would highly recommend with lesson before paddle boarding if you haven’t done it before. Brett got us up and running in minutes and I would go back again to rent. Will be paddle boarding whenever I can in the future.
Had a wonderful 2 hour paddle up the Mashpee River. Loved observing the ospreys, herons, ducks, cormorants, etc. Kayaks and life preservers were clean and in good condition. Staff was cooperative and helpful. We had to change our reservations several times. Had a few problems getting reaching someone on the phone. Once I got through, staff was extremely helpful. Definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful guided kayak tour at Rideaway Adventures. The staff was kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. They were also very professional and carefully followed COVID-19 precautions, which we appreciated. My 14 year-old daughter and I had a great time and would definitely recommend this group to anyone visiting the area. In fact, we had so much fun that we came back two days later with the rest of our family and kayaked on our own for another couple of hours.
My kids love the camp and the counselors. The location is great for biking the kids there and back. We are looking forward to doing it every summer.
Rideaway put us in some kayaks after calling only a few hours earlier, and we have a lovely time kayaking and exploring Poppy Bay and the barrier beach too. We saw schools of forage fish, least terns and plovers, an osprey or two and fortunately, minimal boat traffic.
Brett was very patient and understanding with us, even though it was only our second time out in kayaks. She gave us lots of useful tips and information about kayaking, and also told us about the wildlife and scenery we saw on our ride.
Had a beautiful day on the water. We went in the morning with a knowledgeable and personable guide, Ryan. Next time? We should be up for a more challenging route but would definitely ask for Ryan again!!!
My family and I had a great time! Will was an amazing guide and would highly recommend doing this to have a relaxing and fun experience with your family!
Awesome experience!! Beautiful views. The staff was very helpful and professional.
This has been a great camp for my daughter, she loves it every day and cant wait to go there. Great staff, equipment, experience, overall thumbs up!
Very good equipment and a great location. Our whole crew had a blast!
We had a fantastic lesson and tour with Kyle. It was our first time on the paddle board, with Kyle’s guidance me and my son had a great time . Booking and directions were easy and clear.
We showed up after making reservations online and were in the water within minutes. beautiful place for kayaking. staff was nice and helpful
We have done multiple kayak tours with Rideaway Adventures, and have always had a great experience. Their guides are all very personable and knowledgeable, and make the trip extremely easy and fun! Highly recommend!
We took the Sunset Tour and it was awesome. Our guide(I think it was Kevin) was wonderful and fun. I recommend this to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing, enjoyable evening!!
Great experience. Very nice staff - they had everything ready for us when we arrived.
Amy and Molly were great guides. This is our second time using Rideaway and well likely be back again.
Very satisfied. The fellows helping us we friendly, helpful, and very polite.
We took the sunset kayak tour with Brett. We were fortunate to have a perfect night. Brett was a gracious guide and set a peaceful mood. She spotted blue Heron hiding in the grasses along the marshes. The Osprey were waiting for us to show up and put on a nice display. Was a real treat getting so close. We docked at the Spit, took in the ocean views and paddled to the spot where we and other guided kayakers took in the sunset. We finished the night with tiny birds dive bombing for dinner around us and minnos racing along the top of the water. Thoroughlly enjoyed our tour.
Rideaway does it right. If you are looking for a fun adventure on Cape, your search begins and ends with the crew at Rideaway.
All the staff was helpful and friendly! The views were beautiful and kayaking there was relaxing!
Cameron was a great guide around Popponesset Bay. Talking about the area, the tides and taking us to the barrier beach. Easy paddle, and great to be on the water. Thanks Dena & Evan
Super friendly. Nice location for a calm kayak ride.
It was so much fun! The guides were so nice and kept us safe.
We had an amazing time kayaking around the bay. The staff is prompt and very helpful and we always have a great experience adventuring through Rideaway.
Mashpee facility (7/30/21) - We actually had an Opsrey splashed down in front of us, as it was attempting to capture its lunch!!Staff is very helpful and the equipment is in EXCELLENT condition! it was our 2nd time there!BE WARNED it is slightly difficult to find. Make sure you plot in for directions to the New Seabury Marina BEFORE you get too close... Internet connection is fairly poor to none there.
Easy booking reservations, friendly staff, amazing kayaking experience for a range of ages.
Excellent service, beautiful area for kayaking, and kayaks were new and clean.
We took two tours with Rideaway, a sunset tour and a lazy river. The scenery was spectacular, and the guides were warm, friendly and committed to helping in any way needed, whether this was teaching us how to be better at kayaking or teaching us about the habitat.
Excellent experience. great camp for my 11 year old daughter.
We had a great time doing the Cape Cod Explorer Tour out of the Mashpee location, launching from the New Seabury Marina.If youre not from the area, give yourself just a few extra minutes to navigate the winding roads leading to the launch site but once there, its smooth sailing (or paddling)! Parking lot has plenty of space and team members are there to meet you straight away. Necessary gear is provided but you can also rent a small dry bag for your phone, car keys, and/or wallet. Got one, but honestly could have done without, as the kayaks have adequate onboard dry storage...*and* its unlikely youll tip. :) Guides and staff handle portage of kayaks to the launch site, just about a minutes walk away, and help you launch onto the water.Will was our tour guide and we couldnt have asked for better! He grew up in the area and is incredibly knowledgeable about a number of topics. While he is a great conversationalist, hes also acutely aware of the surroundings and location of his tour members. He spent the trip guiding us from larger boat traffic and moving between family groups to keep the entire party engaged. Even witnessed him recognize and skillfully defuse a building sibling conflict by swiftly sliding his boat in between theirs and politely commenting Excuse me! as he paddled further forward. A+ move.The environment of the paddle is generally protected, calm waters. Most of the time is spent working through a residential area, viewing the homes, docks and boats of some well-to-do folks. There are some clever boat names to keep an eye out for. Great viewing of ospreys (in season). You also make it out to the spit, a strip of sand separating the ocean from the harbor. We were lucky to visit when we did, as we were able to spend some time walking out to a sandbar and see a number of locals digging for clams.Highly recommended for those looking for a casual paddle and would be particularly well suited to younger families (although we - including two teen daughters - thoroughly enjoyed it)!Our thanks to Will and the Rideaway Team for a great time on the water!
Friendly and helpful group of people and the equipment was in great shape!
Rented kayaks in Mashpee. Callie was awesome during reservation process and Noah and Nolan were awesome at Marina.
Our tour guide was Ryan! We had a great time, super relaxing.
Great location for kayaking, well-organized, nice folks.
Ally was a fantastic guide and the kayak tour was fantastic.
Excellent tour of Popponesset Bay with Will. We will definitely be back soon to tour another area of Cape Cod!
The rental process was so easy and efficient! The whole day was a fun and stress-free experience. I can’t wait to return! We had a beautiful day out on the water, and the girl who helped us explained the route perfectly. Thank you for a great time! I wish I found you guys earlier in the season!
We had a great time using RideAway Adventures. We were able to set up a last minute reservation for 4. They had a good variety of various sized bikes. Pricing wasn’t bad and the area where we rode was beautiful. Lastly, we were able to increase our time while we were out without an issue. I would definitely use them again.
Great tour. Our guide, Tim, was aces.
What an awesome tour. My daughter and I did the stand up paddle board tour with Callie. What a beautiful spot to explore! Callie was informative and very knowledgeable and had answers to all our questions. Our tour was with three other ladies and we had a great time. Callie made it fun, with her personality and knowledge. Will definitely take this tour again next year on vacation and will request Callie again. Thank you!
This was a great day in Cape Cod!
We hit up Rideaway two days in row! First was an awesome sunset kayak tour with Mike, who was an absolute pro, very knowledgeable, and an all around great dude. The next day we rented paddle boards, and Caylee (sp?) was there to greet us with a smile, give us excellent instruction, and she found my wife’s lost sunglasses from the day before! So overall, an amazing crew, highly recommended if you’re in the area.
We took the Sunset Kayaking Tour with Amy. She was a fantastic guide . . helpful, informative and just a delightful person! There were a total of six people on the tour which made it seem very personal. We kayaked to Popponessett Spit (Amy pointed out various sights along the way) where we were able to get out and walk around a bit. Amy gathered some sea creatures that had washed up on the beach and told us a bit about them and the birdlife in the area. I would highly recommend this tour!
Our tour guides Taylor and Cam were amazing! They were very knowledgeable about the local wildlife, and the area. The beach we stopped at was gorgeous, and the ocean water was surprisingly warm! I would recommend Rideaway Adventures Kayaking Tour to anyone, no matter your experience level.
I took my 8 year old son on the explorer tour and fromthe phone reservation with Michael to the actual kayak tour with Cali, we had a great experience. They were very friendly and Cali was amazing with us. She even called the morning of our tour because it was a foggy day, to see if we still wanted to come down to Mashpee. Fog and all we had fun. We will definitely be back.
We have a wonderful Paddle Boarding experience!! It was wonderful, very relaxed time wise & a beautiful little island to paddle around! Callie our tour guide was absolutely amazing, I would definitely recommend her if you are looking to get a tour of the area & learn about wildlife as well! Overall, a great experience!! :)
Great experience & perfect location!
What a great evening we spent kayaking in Mashpee last night. Cameron was our guide and he was a well trained Narrator. He always had safety in mind and he gave us information on all the pertinent things about Cape Cod and the wildlife, climate and weather patterns. He was a lot of fun for our group. We did the Sunset tour but I’m pretty sure I’m going back to try some more of their tours in both North and South locations.
Mellow and down to earth operation. Enjoyed this much more than expected. So peaceful to be out in a little kayak with the expanse of water all around. Would make an effort to come back next time we’re in the area.
Our family had a wonderful time Paddle Boarding with Rideaway Adventures this weekend. The staff were super friendly and informative, while ensuring the safety of each person in our group. Mike, Wayne and Katie definitely went the extra mile to demonstrate, explain and make sure each of us were comfortable on the water. Add that in with the Cape Cod Scenery and it made for a fun, memorable day. We would definitely recommend this tour to others.
We had a great time! Ride away was very accommodating to our party of adults and kids (4 & 6). Stopping at the spit was a great break. Anthony was super friendly and knowledgeable. He looked for hermet crabs and other interesting things to show the kids.
My fiance and I had never been kayaking so we wanted to try. I am so glad we went with Rideaway! Amy and Cam were fantastic. Highly recommend!! Just be sure to use the correct address, 135 Daniel Island Rd!!
First time kayaking and RideAway Adventures made it a great experience! Will, our guide, was wonderful! He was mellow and let us set the pace with how fast/slow and how far we wanted to go. This was especially helpful when our littlest got tired. We did the lazy river tour and it was calm and cool. Lots of nature around to appreciate. Overall, an excellent experience.
The girls had a FABULOUS time. The equipment was top notch, the Poppy location, so beautiful! They had a tough time coming back in against the wind and offered to pay for an overage, on time (15-20 min). R.A. said not to worry. Highly recommend Rideaway.
I am new to kayaking and always nervous about getting in and out of kayak. Rideaway makes it easy. Very informative about what/where to go. We had a blast. Cant wait to go back there.
We had a great experience and enjoyed our day kayaking in Mashpee! Would like to thank Will and the group for providing a really nice August day!We would definitely recommend Rideaway Adventures to anyone looking to spend some time outdoors and on the water! Thanks again!
We had a great paddle with Will. He was friendly, easygoing and very knowledgeable. It was easy to book our tour and everything lived up to expectations even though the weather was a bit off! We can’t wait to go again!
Great place to kayak!
I booked 4 Kayaks in late September on the same date, this was easy, gave all information over the phone. They were ready for us, Kayaks already in the water, super customer service, we also gave a nice tip. Thank you for this easy experience!
Staff was very helpful and friendly! Our tour guide Amy went above and beyond to make sure our experience was fun, educational, and above all, safe! Sunset tour was the only tour available and it was the best we could ever hope for!
A great day kayaking! Will and the rest of the staff were super friendly and helpful showing us the most scenic places to paddle. We cant wait to do it again next weekend!
Our group had the best time on our paddle-board tour with Callie. She was so patient, and taught us so much about the area. What a great experience. Thanks for a wonderful time.
Amazing place! Went for Kayaking! Cheap prices and great service. I little confusing getting to the marina but overall a great experience! Will definitely be going again!
Went on a sunset kayak tour with Will as our guide. We had an amazing time paddling to Popponesset Spit and hanging out on its beach. The kids spent about an hour in the water off the spit, finding hermit crabs on the landward side and swimming in the waves on the seaward side. Will was a world-class guide and was great with the kiddos. Unforgettable experience!
Everyone at Rideaway Adventures was friendly, helpful, and courteous! The equipment was in excellent condition. I had a great kayaking afternoon on the bay and look forward to trying the Sandwich location another time!
I had a great experience here. I am a novice kayaker and also brought 2 kids along. Our guide was relaxed, patient, friendly, and had us feeling like we were in good hands the whole time. Definitely try it out!
Anthony was a great guide. We kayaked through some beautiful bays and inlets. A very relaxing way to see some of cape cods waterfront
Once I found Rideaway, I dont use any other kayak rental service. Both locations are great and the staff is always super nice and helpful. Easy launching process, really great areas to kayak, and its a very fun experience.
I had an awesome time with Rideaway Adventures. Cameron was a fantastic guide. This tour was one of the higlights of my trip to Cape Cod.
It was such a great experience. Our guide was great, she was clear as to where to go and what to avoid. It was a beautiful day and a great time.
Super friendly and helpful staff. Had a great time paddling out to the spit with my family. Water was very calm which made for an enjoyable experience for all.
Had an amazing time on the last full moon tour of the season! Our guides were awesome & we really enjoyed it! Planning another for end of this month with my coworkers! Can’t wait!
A perfect way to start the day. Great fun. Really enjoyable. Highly recommend.
We had a fabulous family tour! Mike was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Would absolutely do it again!
My husband and I rented a combination of paddle boards and kayaks to take a group of teenagers out for my daughters birthday celebration. From beginning to end, of my contact with Rideaway, the staff was gracious, knowledgeable, accommodating, and incredibly flexible.I would HIGHLY recommend them and look forward to using them in the future!
A great experience with Rideaway! A beautiful trip over to the spit and around the bay. Lots to see - beautiful homes, boats, and birds.
We had an awesome time! Our guides, Cassie and Anthony, were very knowledgeable and really made the trip great! We will definitely do it again.
Fantastic company!
RideAway Adventures is such an incredible experience! Being a year round resident, we truly live in such a beautiful place that I’ve never seen or knew existed! From booking to returning to land, the experience was 110%! I recommend RideAway for any group you have. Family outings, couples, company outings, you won’t be disappointed.
Great day on the water. Beautiful spot to explore and find a small secluded beach area. Staff are beyond friendly and helpful.
10/10 experience! Staff was beyond kind and knowledgeable. Fun for the entire family. We can’t wait to visit again!!
The employees were professional, friendly, and helpful! The location is so beautiful too. We had a great time and will rent from Rideaway again! Thank you!
