We were new to kayaking - This was our first time kayaking so we were a little nervous, but Mac reassured us that we were doing a great job. He was so kind and patient with us. Mac is a great leader and I would highly recommend Kayaking with Mac and this company!

Great Kayak Tour! - My wife and I booked a two hour kayak tour using a tandem kayak and it turned out to be a great experience. Lynn was assigned as our tour guide. She was patient, informative and very knowledgeable about the area and also the wildlife. We saw a number of different water birds and Lynn was able to tell us what they were. We also stopped off at a small beach where we could stretch our legs a bit and take a dip in the water. Being out on the water was so peaceful and relaxing and gave us a very different perspective of the area. We highly recommend.
