Justine is "the real deal" great kayaking experience - Had a great time. Justin was very knowledgeable. Kayaks were stable and comfortable with many adjustments. Definitely will look Justin up for next year.

Great kayak trip with a great guide! - The weather was perfect, it wound up being a private tour for just the 2 of us plus Justin, who was knowlegeable, interesting, and took it easy with a couple of "old ladies". We'll definitely take another tour from him the next time we're in Door County!

Kayaking fun. - Thank you Justin for a wonderful time kayaking and teaching us so much about the geology and history of the area. We had so much fun and highly recommend this tour to anyone (even if you have never kayaked before.) Definitely a highlight of our vacation!

Great Kayak experience. - We had an amazing time with Justin. It was my first time kayaking so I was a bit nervous, but Justin put me at ease. The water was extremely calm. He had wonderfully comfortable kayaks. Went at a good pace. He is a treasure trove of naturalist information. Wonderful time.

Justin was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions, Kayaks were of a high quality with water and a great lunch provided. We had a brilliant day and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Fantastic experience for all the family

Kayaks + Justin = Amazing Adventure - We've been coming to Door County for decades and this was one of our all-time great adventures, thanks to Justin. We were scheduled to explore the Niagara Escarpment, but the wind and waves would have been too much for us. Justin adjusted the plan on the fly, and we went to the calmer side of the peninsula and explored the Mink River estuary. It would be difficult to imagine a better guide: Justin's instruction was excellent - we were on the water in no time. His knowledge of, well, Every aspect of Door County was extensive: geology, history, conservation, birds, flora, fauna, the little water-lilies and the huge sweep of forests. And his own tacit knowledge from his life in this special area. He encouraged us gently, kept us moving, and yet we never felt rushed. We talked, but we also listened. We learned about the waterways, and we learned about ourselves and what we could do with an able guide. An amazing adventure with a fabulous waterman. Wherever you might go with him - do it!

Kayak Guide Justin is the BEST! - My wife and I enjoyed our first trip last year with Justin so much that we booked another trip in 2024. This time we opted for the sunset cruise in Ellison Bay and brought along our kids. Justin did not disappoint. It helped that we had a beautiful evening with a leeward wind and calm seas.
As usual Justin was an amazing guide and shared interesting stories about the history of Ellison Bay, the geology of Door County, and the environment. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our trip and it was the highlight of our 4th of July weekend.
I can't say enough positive comments about Justin. I really respect his vision for his business and the principled approach he is taking to chasing his dream. Justin's equipment is top notch and he is a highly experienced outfitter that you can put your trust in. Don't look any further and book with Justin for your trip! I know I will never use another guide.

Excellent guided kayaking experience! - I highly recommend Justin Adventure Tours! My 16 year-old son, his friend and I went on a kayaking trip with Justin to see Deaths Door. I’ve been on numerous guided sea kayaking trips - up in the apostle islands, Antelope canyon, off the coast of Alaska, and outside of Vancouver. This was one of the most well-run, informative, professional, and engaging trips I’ve been on.
I chose Justin’s company because he is a certified guide (safety first!) and we each had our own individual kayak (having good equipment makes such a difference for an experience like this and I personally do not like the sit upon kayaks other companies use).
What made this trip special though was Justin‘s passion for the Great Lakes, his knowledge of the geology/cultural history of the area, and his respect for the natural world. His passion is contagious.
Our paddle was relatively short (2ish hours) - perfect for my son and his friend. Justin made it fun for them, making sure to engage them in conversation and racing them back to the beach. He also took surprisingly good photos of us, (the only picture I have from this trip with all three of us in it).
Justin mentioned that he does a trip around Rock Island as well. Next time I’m up in the area, I’ll definitely be signing up for that trip.
