Worth Your Time!

Sam was so easy to talk and his relaxed attitude definitely made me more relaxed for someone who has never kayaked before. The whole group was really fun and I enjoyed talking to everyone. My sons also had a great time and said they would do it again! Definitely worth it!

Good First Experience

If you’re a first time kayaker, it takes a while to get adjusted to the workout you’ll get paddling. However, the journey and stops make it worth it and our tour guide Nina was very helpful.

Best experience ever

Nina was great! Would definitely do this again! Lots of fun facts and beautiful scenery including some wildlife. I have never kayaked before and was a little nervous but they walk you through everything. Just really a great, relaxing experience! One of my top favorite activities I did on my trip!

Very enjoyable and scenic

Both the owner and the guide were super friendly and helpful. The guide was very energetic, entertaining, and encouraging of the less experienced people on the kayak tour.
