Lots of fun! It's a great way to get out of the city and see some of the countryside/farther parts of town. The guides are really nice and the kayaking isn't hard but it's more than a simple paddle. Definitely a fun way to spend a day.

We kayaked through a very nice area. We were lucky with no rain but had a windy kayak back to the launch area. It was a great workout! Our guide was fantastic - super funny. We saw all sorts of shellfish from the kayak.
