Beauty, Peace, & Quiet; eventually, a little boring - It was a great trip & Jacob was a knowledgeable & personable guide. It was about an hour too long for our family; The drive was about 45 minutes each way & the trip was as advertised, 9am-4pm. 5 hours of paddling is a lot for inexperienced people (who are more likely to have a guide instead of just renting from an outfitter).

Excellent day outing - Excellent guide Jacob was good at reading needs of his group, took us to Homer Lake, we portaged to Axe lake on the BWCA and back. Taught us how to easily lift canoe for portage, how to safely put it down, enter and exit the canoe with several opportunities to practice all of the above, as well as paddle handling and strokes. Good explanations of flaura and fauna he had equally sure it is attention with all group members. He taught us some of the rules of the road, campsites, fires, gathering wood, considering campsites. It was a good day outing, as well as a primer for a future boundary waters camping trip. Highly recommended and I would do it again

Good experience - Guide was super helpful and friendly we got caught up in some pretty rough wind but he helped us through and we had a really good time. A great way to see the deeper parts of the state.
