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.

Astrid was a knowledgable guide and it was a pleasure to listen to her stories about the wild life in the area. My favorite part was kayaking down the snake river and on the return trip to spend time watching the manatees!
