5.00Our guide was awesome, he was so informative, fun, kind. He even gave us walking sticks to use that were so useful because it was muddy and slippery in many spots. No one else we saw on the trail had them.

5.00The experience was amazing but our guide Mikayla made it the best… it rained heavily the whole night before so we weren’t able to hike to the Falls… she made the trip fun and was very knowledgeable and friendly!
Great experience

5.00The kayak/ hike tour was fantastic! Michaela was super friendly, patient and incredibly informative. She made the whole experience enjoyable. Our group included two grandparents, two parents, a 12-year-old, and a 6-year-old — and everyone had a wonderful time. Highly recommend!

5.00This kayak and hike tour was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and so much fun. Our guide, Zack, was amazing—knowledgeable about the area, wildlife, and local history, and he had a great sense of humor. He loves to tell (and hear!) jokes, which made the trip even more enjoyable and full of laughs. The kayaking portion was peaceful with beautiful views, and the hike was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Zack made sure everyone felt comfortable, included, and entertained the entire time. I left feeling refreshed, happy, and already planning to come back. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys the outdoors and a good laugh along the way!
