    Amazing kayaking trip. We were in a tandem kayak and had a great time. Michelle, our guide, was phenomenal! She pointed out wildlife, knew tons about the area and shared the history of it. The water was cold and refreshing with Emerald cave being the highlight. So much fun and such a great day! Don’t wonder if you should go, book the trip; you won’t regret making the memories!!

    We had a wonderful experience with Preston as our guide! He was excellent at teaching technique for kayaking and that made my paddling much more efficient and fun! We appreciated the opportunity to purchase long sleeve shirts and a dry bag on our phones by scanning a QR code while riding in the shuttle van - ready upon arrival at the marina. Preston was very personable and a genuinely nice guy. The kayaking was easy and beginner-friendly - perfect weather too. Lots of fun for our group. Highly recommended!
