We so enjoyed our kayak trip on the Tennessee River with James our tour guide. He shared local history, places to see and great food options. He provided such a relaxing pace that it hardly felt like exercise at all. So appreciated having a trip designed around our desires instead of a routine fast paced tour. James made this a highlight of our Chattanooga vacation. Thanks

James was a great tour guide! My group of friends went on a girls trip to Chattanooga and wanted to try paddleboarding and go kayaking. We had never done a guided tour on the water before. James was very friendly and easy to communicate with. He was very understanding about the fickle weather, and was incredibly accommodating when it came to deciding if we could go out on the water safely (luckily the weather cleared up and we were able to go)! Knowledgeable about Chattanooga's history, and ensured that our group had a great time on the river. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

We had a great time paddling and kayaking with Chrisler and Courtney. They provided some quick instructions at the beginning and we were off! I like that the tour isn’t too rigid, so you can spend more time at one place if you are really enjoying. Chrisler is very knowledgeable when it comes to Chattanooga history. It was interesting to hear stories about the areas we were paddling around and seeing views of!
