Our second kayak tour with this company. Raven was fantastic. Super friendly and full of great information. She was well prepared with extra cold waters. Our group had lots of different personalities and skill levels and she did a great job keeping everyone engaged and feeling safe and comfortable. Beautiful area and easy paddle.
