Jason & Caesar were the best!! Had a great paddle out, even with the tide change. They even saved a Randim drowning tourist. Great history lesson as well!

Thank you Will. We heard about the dramatic rescue by our guides of a hiker who was experiencing trouble. They take the job seriously and are there for anyone in distress. It's nice to know that good samaritans still exist! Thank you again for your kind words about the trip and our guides.

Jason and Ceaser were awesome guides. The history we learned was really interesting. The paddle out was exciting as we took the afternoon ride when the tides were changing. The guides even saved a random tourist from drowning. Can’t say enough good about this excursion.
