Sailor was amazing and very patient with our group as we were learning to navigate our kayaks. I felt very safe while still having a lot of fun. The experience was terrific and I’d like to do this again. Thank you Sailor!

Had a great time. Jostin was a great guide and he takes the best pictures. If you go on any tour, this is the one to take. Hopefully you get Jostin.
