We had a wonderful time on our tandem kayak tour. Booking was simple and finding the launch was easy. Rich was our guide, not only was he enthusiastic and entertaining but he made us feel safe. Highly recommended!

-Frank V

Nice, friendly, laid-back folks who work here. We had a guide both in front and in back who both really seemed to enjoy what they were doing. And as an extra surprise the porta-potties were as clean as any I’d ever seen and well stocked with wet wipes, hand sanitizer, and even room spray 👍

-Cindy

We had a private guided tour for our family and wendy was super at handling our group. she knows a lot about the area and was very helpful for some in our group that were new to paddling

-Jared G

Really enjoyed this experience was a great one, the views are great, the pricing is great and Turtle Rick was a great guide. If you like the outdoors and are looking for something different to do, then this is one thing I would recommend.
