We were novice kayakers and the staff was super friendly and answered all questions with no hesitation! Our guide was James and he was super helpful and friendly! Other guides talked to us as well giving us helpful tips and wishing our group a phenomenal journey. The trip and team was truly spectacular and blew away all of our expectations. On the bus ride back James was telling us a pirate joke and my sister and I are still wondering what happened to the pirates eye! Wonderful journey!! 10/10 would recommend.
