5.00Love this experience! Staff are so friendly and attentive. They asked us if we want a Blue tooth speaker and I couldn’t make up my mind lol! So he strapped one on our pedal boat. They gave us clear directions on where we can see some seals. Would definitely do this again

5.00These guys are awesome! I was 20 minutes late for my reservation, they did not count it against my time. While out on the water I decided I wanted to stay out an extra hour, I send a quick text and get a fast reply, no worries. And the kayak was a Hobie with the 360 drive, what more do you need?!
