    I had such a wonderful adventure 3 weeks ago with my son that i came back for some solo kayaking. My first day was a little shaky as the water level was very high, Linda our guide gave me tips to help me out. I was able to enjoy the rest of the day and get my skills back up a bit. I had such a great time I went back a second day. What an amazing day with two amazing guides Jerry D and Ezra. I highly recommend going with this professional outfit. Nice equipment and a super friendly counter staff. I wouldn't go anywhere else....
