5.00This kayak trip was a favorite! We had a perfect day weather-wise which is always nice. But the main feature, our guide Helen, was fantastic! She was an easy-going instructor and a wealth of information. The route she took us on and the information she shared were both great! So glad we did this, it was so much fun and a true highlight of our trip! 👍🏻👍🏻
