We had the absolute best time during our tour. It was one of the many activities my husband and I did on our honeymoon and one of our absolute favorites. Our tour guide was amazing and every staff member we came in contact with was very friendly and made sure we were 100% comfortable. It was my first time kayaking and their instruction was very helpful and informative. Our guide was very fun, friendly, and informative. Encouraged questions and conversation. We absolutely recommend. It was amazing!
