Great scenery, knowledgeable guide - I did this tour in the morning before a business conference. Aaron was very knowledge about all the different birds and wildlife and gave good directions on how to steer the kayak as well. He adjusted his pace appropriately. He also took pictures and sent them to me so I did not need to worry about pulling out my phone (and possibly dropping it in the water).

Fabulous kayaking experience with AWA - Aaron took my husband and I out on the wildlife tour. Being a novice and very anxious, Aaron was so patient and kind with me. He was able to get me comfortable on the water in no time. He was extremely knowledgeable about about the area and all it’s inhabitants! We had a fabulous time and I highly recommend AWA Kayak tours and Aaron.
