    Matthew, Robert, Joshua, and the team here have clearly built something special on Wallowa Lake. The glass-bottom clear kayak tours, especially at night, consistently wow visitors with spectacular stargazing, informative geology and history lessons, and peaceful lake exploration. Guides take time to point out wildlife, share local stories, and create memorable moments like turning off lights mid-lake for unobstructed views of the Milky Way. What really stands out is the flexibility and personal touch. Multiple reviewers mention last-minute accommodations, schedule adjustments for families with kids, and staff going above and beyond with extras like sunscreen, water, and dry bags. The kayaks themselves get praise for being spotless and well-maintained. Tours often run a bit longer than scheduled, which guests appreciate. One negative review from a past visit describes a tense confrontation between the owner and another customer, though this appears isolated among otherwise glowing feedback. First-timers and experienced paddlers alike find the experience welcoming, with guides making everything feel easy and safe regardless of skill level.

    We just returned from a Nighttime Clear Kayak Tour with JO Paddle and had an absolutely amazing time. Robert and Matthew were incredible guides offering history of the lake, area, and local spots. I loved the chance to stop and take in the Milky Way from the middle of the lake at the end of the tour. I had mistakenly booked us for the wrong weekend, but they took excellent care of us and we were able to go out with them. Many many thanks for a bucket list experience!
