5.00Great experience. I’m 71 the kayak was great the hike was a little intense for me. Very slippery crossing a river and muddy path but once you get to the falls it’s worth the journey.

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!

5.00Kayaking tandem can be more difficult than kayaking alone. Otherwise it is a beautiful journey of about 2 miles. The hike, which is about 1.5 miles to a waterfall is through mud and many shallow streams. For us in October the waterfall was almost nonexistant. Still it was fun. Zach was a great, caring and entertaining guide. The hike was of course another 1.5 miles back and another, more difficult 2 mile paddle back to the beginning.
Amazing experience made even better by Mikaela.

5.00Amazing experience with a very reasonable difficulty level. Our guide Mikaela was outstanding. Her personality, knowledge, attentiveness and ability to connect with everyone in the group made her one of the best parts of this experience. Being in our 50’s, and having done many, many tours over the years with our kids, you appreciate a guide like Mikaela when you get one. Whatever the company pays her, it’s not enough. Both the kayak and hike were awesome and the falls were fantastic. If you’re undecided about booking this tour…let me decide for you……just book it.
