It was wonderful! Eddie was awesome! My friend feared kayaking in open water. He took his time helping her get in the kayak and assured her she would find the very flat water calming. After about a mile she was totally enjoying our paddle. ... I was hesitant to book due to the 100° temp, but was pleasantly surprised how the 55° water helped cool the air. Never felt too hot! Started at 9am. The water & the scenery are all so beautiful! Take the trip!
Great kayaking tour in a wonderful setting. The organizer Eddie is very nice and provides a detailed briefing. As a gesture, he gives you water and some snacks. Absolutely recommendable!
Clear communication every step of the way! One of the only places that allows you to do a self- paced solo trip but Eddie was super knowledgeable and told me everything I needed to know to get to where I was going! They include snacks and water and I would highly recommend!
Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour and had fun out on the water. it was a pleasure having you- come back anytime! Eddie
The men were very wonderful! Kayaks were nice! We had a blast! Will absolutely do this again! Had a beautiful fun experience!
Thank you for your awesome review! we are glad you had a great tome kayaking with us , come back anytime.
We did a self guided tour but Johnny helped us get set up with gear and treats for the adventure. There’s just something extra enjoyable about a customer service professional who genuinely enjoys their job and the ppl they share it with. Would book with him for a full guided tour next time!
