Astrid was fun, kind, flexible, helpful and informative! She had interesting information about the birds, alligators, turtles, vegetation etc. Kayaking was smooth easy paddling. Lunch was cheese, grapes, lunchmeat, crackers, and cookies. Water provided in kayaks. My recommendation for any guide leader would be to post the distance in miles on the site. Additionally, pre trip take a poll from the travelers as to how long they prepared to be on the river so the guide can best plan paddling speed. And let travelers know what time bathroom spots will be during their journey.

We had so much fun on this tour! We are relatively new to kayaking and this trip was not strenuous. It was a relaxing, fun, and very informative tour. Astrid, our guide was full of knowledge and one could tell how much she just loves her job. Thank you for making accommodations at the last minute for us to join the morning tour.
