The guide was wonderful! Friendly. Have clear instructions. I was a birthday and for great photos with my brother in the kayak. Thank you
Great experience, great views, great guide!
Brittany was an outstanding guide. Very fun and knowledgeable. Great trip for our family with 3 kids 13, 15, 18.
Great guide Ty. He was helpful getting us in and out of the kayaks. Beautiful morning on Lake Dillon. Ty gave us history of the area as well as a geological history of the surrounding region. Pointed out many birds in the trees. We were the first tour out in the morning but the last ones back. He gave us our money’s worth. Took pictures with his own phone and you receive them at no cost!
My sister and I took this tour at 9 am. It was an amazing experience! Ty is wonderful and so informative. The views were breathtaking and we saw some birds and a deer!! I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to see some beautiful scenery up close. I am not a great kayaker by any means and it was so easy to get in the kayaks and paddle. We will be back for sure!!
Carter,our guide, did a great job getting everyone checked in, outfitted, instructing us on safety, use of paddles, and getting us comfortable in kayaks. He pushed us off into the water and off we went. Unfortunately, my wife and I aren’t experienced kayakers and struggled to keep up with the group of 10 others that were with us so we missed a lot of the commentary from Carter. The tour gave great views of the mountains. Flat water was mostly easy paddling. I would recommend this tour but if you can’t keep up with the group, you sort of get left behind.
Carter was awesome! Our group of 10 had a great time and Carter made everything easy and fun. Book this kayak trip!
It was a great time despite the weather. Our guide was fun & made the best of it with the high winds.
Our tour with Brittany was awesome! She was very knowledgeable about the the mountain peaks, altitude, birds and potential wildlife we would see.
Great tour around Dillon Lake. Carter the guide was excellent. Tremendous value for $65/person as that includes the kayak rental and 2 hours on the lake.
