My wife and I are fairly experienced kayakers, having done a couple dozen trips through the years, and were excited for this trip. Everything went smoothly - equipment was ready and handed out, details were described, and the guide set expectations (basically, stay somewhat together). Over the course of an hour and a half we had light rapids, still waters, headwinds pushing us back, a couple of re-group spots, loads of great sight-seeing ... and in mid-70s air temperatures with water that felt warm to us (~70F). Great and highly recommended!
