    Fox River Kayaking delivers consistently excellent experiences with a team of guides that customers rave about by name. Dom, Ian, Lucas, Michelle, and Emma all get enthusiastic shoutouts for their knowledge, patience, and ability to make the trips fun for everyone from first-timers to families with young kids. The Appleton Locks tour seems to be their signature experience, taking paddlers through historic working locks while guides share local history and point out wildlife along the way. The service goes beyond just good guiding. They handle logistics smoothly, offering both guided tours and rentals with delivery options. A photographer often follows along to capture moments at no extra charge, which guests absolutely love. The equipment quality is solid, and the staff makes booking and communication easy from start to finish. Multiple reviewers specifically mention how well they accommodate beginners and mixed-ability groups, taking time to explain everything properly. It's clear this operation has the details dialed in while maintaining a genuinely welcoming, personal touch that keeps people coming back.
