5.00This was such a wonderful day & Derek was the best guide! He not only took us to the most awesome places to get photos, but he a had all the facts about locations & brought multiple telescopes for us to view through. On top of this, he took the time to show our son how to cross rocks to get to a log out into the water. This was our son's highlight of the trip, thanks to Derek! You are an amazing tour guide with so much knowledge, we appreciate the wonderful day you provided! Thank you again!!!
Worst ever trip inside and outside the usa
