Pinelands Adventures

There's great people working here. Thru just cleared the rivers and routes and I will be visiting them this summer with my family! Andy was awesome,I got my Jeep stuck in a rut and he pulled us out just because he's a nice guy.

We took the Kayak Trip from Quaker Bridge to Batsto......awesome trip!! Beautiful scenery. Pinelands Adventures staff was great! Our driver to launch and from pick up was engaging and knowledgeable of river, local history, and lore. Staff recommended Fall trips for some great scenery. Great place for a day trip or overnight camp trip.

This by far exceeded our expectations! We were a group of 12, ages 10 to 68 and all had a great time. When I first contacted them they communicated well and convinced me to go kayak and not canoe, great decision! When we arrived we were greeted so warmly and all was explained clearly. We did the 4 hour trip and the scenery was breathtaking! Michael our driver blew us away with so much interesting information about the area and he was so sweet and helpful. I highly recommend this place and it's perfect for a group outing.

Visited this establishment yesterday. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We had our own kayaks and paid a $30 charge for drop off and pickup. There were 7 of us and we did the Quaker Bridge run. The staff were all awesome and so full of knowledge about the area. It’s a downstream run so really just steering involved. That was helpful for the few first time kayakers that were with us. Mostly covered by trees and beautiful nature. We did see some fire damage on the trip and they gave us a good explanation of how it happened and how it is controlled. Highly recommend this place!!

Always an incredible experience with Pinelands Adventures! I’ve kayaked this river in various weather conditions, and I’m never disappointed with all the beauty I encounter and the enjoyment of the adventure. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable, warm and very friendly. I’m originally from this area but with each visit, I seem to always learn a new & surprising fact re: the Pine Barrens!

It is a popular place. The staff was very kind and polite. You will ride a school bus to the starting point. The driver briefly explained the history of places while passing. It was very interesting. It was for the first time I ride in a very curvy stream. As a beginner, if I got even a brief explanation about how to turn the direction of a boat? It would be helpful; however, we learned it in a hard way. It took a long time but they told us that as long as we come back by 4 pm they were fine with it. It took about 3 hours. When we arrived to the end point, a school bus waited for us. The retuning bus was very fun. I felt like a corn inside of a pop corn pan. You will know what I meant if you ride it. It was nice trip. I want to do it again.

Excellent kayaking experience! Helpful staff, good rental equipment and magnificent scenery! We will be going back for a guided experience in the future!

This was a bucket list paddle for me, as I'm about 2.5 hours north. It was super convenient to book, and everything went flawlessly. Our driver was extremely pleasant and gave us a great history lesson on the pine Barrens on the way to the drop off. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

First time kayaking on Batsto River. Pinelands Adventures made the trip easy and stress-free! Loaded and unloaded kayak, drove us to the put-in point, and picked us up at the end. Great experience 👍

My two friends and I did the Cryptid Hike with the Pinelands Adventure team and we had an absolutely amazing time. Everyone was so knowledgeable of the forest, and we loved hearing the spooky stories. Would absolutely recommend, 10/10!

They are very knowledgeable about the area, from soil to biodiversity to its history. Since a storm was approaching they made sure to contact us and pull us out of the river before it even hit. However signal is hardly there in a few places.

Single kayaking for 4 hours was a great experience even for a beginner like me , was fortunate enough to have good weather while out there. Lot of places to get stuck, helps to have people around if you’re a beginner on a self guided trip.

I did the basto 4 hour ride down the river with my 2 teenage kids. It couldn't of been better!!! Staff was AWESOME! Easy rowing with the current through the pines. Will be back for sure!!!

Cool place. Nice customer service. Caught some nice bass.

Amazing all around. Rob at the front desk was a great resource to me and my cousin, both novices at kayaking. He was able to lay out all of the options available to us and help us pick the right trip. Monica, who drove us to the starting point from Pinelands Adventures, gave us an amazing history of the area. The trip itself was fantastic. Truly a gem.

Thank you so much for the unforgetable experience! There are no words to describe how happy i was. Pure happiness, pure nature, pure life. And the staff was so nice and positive. That was the most beautiful experience in my life. Definitely recommend. Try it as soon as you can, you won't regret it! Thank you!

The best kayaking adventure I’ve ever been on! Really enjoyed my trip winding through a small river with a soft current through the pine lands with wild iris, grey herons, sunbathing turtles, and water lilies! Everyone who works there is so friendly, and I learned so much from the historical tour on the drive to the drop-off and from the pick up to the base.

Absolutely amazing! Had a fantastic time! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable to the history of the area! I recommend that if you're 1 person, use the kayak and not the canoe. It gets pretty tight in a few spots. 2 people in a canoe is fine though.

Incredible!! Went 10/18/20, 10am on the 4 hour trip! Perfect weather 65 degrees partly cloudy with lots of sun shining through, the fall foliage was beautiful! Pinelands Adventures is the perfect company to book through, very organized and experts of the pinelands!

Great trip on a beautiful day . Was happy that I was able to be picked up early . All staff were great, helpful, and friendly

The online reservation service was really easy to use. We rented one kayak and brought one, and it was extremely convenient to be transported to the launch site. There was virtually no wait for the transport back.

We really enjoyed the extremely informative historical and botanical information on the trip out, and even got to see a Pitcher Plant in full bloom. Will be definitely booking more trips.
