Enjoyable family kayaking morning!
We had an enjoyable kayaking experience as a family. Pete was a great tour guide; he knows the area well and could point out things as we paddled. We really appreciate his encouraging us to do the morning paddle so we could avoid thunderstorms plus we got on the water before other groups and had the creek to ourselves. Lofton Creek is beautiful and peaceful - we highly recommend this trip!

Enjoyable and informative trip.
My wife and I had a great personal tour, turns out when we booked the trip they recognized we were a couple and closed bookings so we had our own trip. We were impressed with the scenery, the pace was great and relaxed, dialect with our guide was very interesting and informative.
We would love to do another trip with them in the future.

Great kayak trip with unique guide
It was a great experience seeing the nature and wildlife from the kayak boat. Since the water is very calm, you can enjoy the view without having to concentrate much on rowing. Accompanied by nice chats with the hospitable guide, it has been an overall memorable trip.
