Guides like Erick, Mike, Cory, and Mark consistently earn recognition for their local knowledge, friendliness, and ability to make both beginners and experienced paddlers feel comfortable. What really stands out is the flexibility and personal service. Brady regularly meets customers directly at launch sites, accommodates last-minute schedule changes, and goes above and beyond with thoughtful touches like lending trekking poles at no charge. The easy booking process and responsive communication make planning straightforward, whether you're renting equipment for a self-guided adventure or joining a guided tour to spot eagles and herons. Groups return year after year, and first-timers consistently mention feeling welcomed and well cared for throughout their experience.
Beautiful experience in glass-bottom kayaks, in crystal clear, quiet waters. Our guide Erick grew up in this area, but has traveled in service to our country, was friendly, with interesting & informative information. We appreciate your service! He showed us several underwater springs! Will definitely recommend and would love to be back someday. C.
