What a great trip today!!! Justin and his wife were the best guides with great personalities. They kept us informed of the best way to easily glide through the marsh creeks which were absolutely magical. I had been waiting to do this kayaking trip. It was well worth it ! We got to the hidden beach (Waties Island) and Justin told us some cool stories and we walked and looked at the tree bone yard and then swam in the Chanel❤️ it was so refreshing. We headed back and I kept touching the water and cooling my hands, water was the perfect temperature. 100% recommend this couple.

We had a great time kayaking with J&L! We did the tour to Waites Island, which is a beautiful place. Justin did an excellent job instructing us before we got out onto the water. He prepared us for a challenging return trip as there were very strong winds that day. Both Justin and Laurie were very knowledgeable and pointed out birds and other interesting things along the trip. We highly recommend a kayak tour with J&L!
