A great guided tour makes all the difference. Without Gord leading the way I don’t think I would have enjoyed the experience as much.

Frank was so engaging. He gave us enough cool information but also jokes and helpful tips about the area, including local restaurants not chains. We definitely had a great experience because of him and encourage you to take his early morning tour.

Frank provided such an amazing experience! He was super knowledgeable and sprinkled in the right amount of humor. He was also fantastic with my little, who didn’t want to get too wet on the boat. 💗
