My trip was fantastic!! This was only my 2nd time in a kayak and it was worth every penny. This self guided tour was awesome for a novice. Booking ahead isn't necessary, yet it made checking in super easy. Reserving a single kayak ahead ensured you got what you wanted. All the workers were super sweet and willing to give tips and tricks to make you trip as fun as possible. 10/10 will do again.

What a great setup. $80 for a 2 person canoe on the river for 2hrs. Have a drink at the end on the Pikes deck. Then a pick up back to the shop.
