Micheal is awesome - Micheal did a great job with pointing out the wildlife and telling us about the nature and history of the river. i am absolutely terrified of water and even though this tour stressed me out so badly i still enjoyed learning from Micheal.

A Glowing Kayaking Tour! - This was a very fun and interesting experience! I’ve never been kayaking at night & it was so cool to be able to see through the bottom and sides of our boat. We saw not only Texas wild rice but fish, a beaver, herons & a turtle. Jake was our tour guide who was fun & informative! Thanks for sharing the adventure with us! We will tell everyone about it!

Not able to hear guide for instructions/tour info - Couldn’t hear the guide so we would get close, but we’re afraid to get too close because she was on an unlighted paddle board and we were afraid to knock her. All around it was a little uncomfortable because we couldn’t hear the information/instructions and were bumping into each other.
