My group had 2 guides. Dan and Jeremy were very friendly and it was nice that they each went at 2 different speeds for those who liked to keep up a good pace and those who preferred to take it easy. I was with Dan, the fast group, so we managed to make it a little further down the shoreline than the others before we had to turn around- and caught a rare geyser eruption in the process! I’m in the park all the time, but it was nice to get on the lake for a change and get to see it from a new perspective. Dan was friendly and relaxed, but was also very attentive to the weather to ensure we wouldn’t get caught up in any risky situations as some dark clouds started to roll in. So if anyone has any anxieties about the activity, you will very quickly feel at ease. These guides are patient, courteous, and informative.
