First Time Kayaker

This was my first time kayaking and Zoe, our tour guide made it an amazing experience for us!! She's very knowledgeable of the area and she shared many stories relating to the things we saw on our tour. I was scared at first, and Zoe definitely eased my stress and fear. She was very understanding and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend this kayaking tour to anyone! It was a relaxing, amazing time.
