Just finished an amazing kayaking experience with our guide Josh, and it was absolutely wonderful! Josh was incredibly nice, patient, and made the whole trip so enjoyable. He explained everything clearly, kept checking in on us, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. Josh was also very passionate about animals and genuinely took the time to share that passion with us throughout the tour, which made the experience even more special. The scenery was beautiful, the pace was perfect, and overall it was such a fun and relaxing time. Highly recommend this tour—and if you get Josh as your guide, you’re in for a great experience!
