“A great day on the water! What an amazing day! We went as a group of 6, two to a kayak. Our guides were professional, informative, and generous. It was a windy day and, as I was paddling with my young daughter against the wind, one of our guides offered to assist by attaching my kayak to his paddleboard when going against the wind and waves.” - Reviewed on 2025-04-17
