3.00The name of the provider needs to be in the up front information not buried in the ticket information area. The business street number is not always findable/seeable so we need to know the name of the business also. Remember we are driving and looking for our destination at the same time. A store front photo would to helpful.
Fun time had by all

5.00This was our first time ocean kayaking. It was a fun experience. I will admit that the waves in the beginning were high and almost scared me off the experience as they were hitting me in the face. I freaked out a bit but once we got past the initial waves it was an enjoyable experience. Brady and Sawyer were awesome tour guides. Brady was very knowledgeable and did a great job guiding us in and out of the cave safely on an unusually choppy day. I would do this again.
Great knowledgeable...

4.00Great knowledgeable guides, can be very crowded on the water with many other groups, snorkelers, etc. also, the cave portion is a little underwhelming- you go in boat by boat for only a minute… was expecting a little more of a wow factor.
