Had an amazing day kayaking the kalfkiller river with Erik and Austin with the Reggae on the river tour. It was a perfect day and the kayaks were very comfortable. Austin singing while we were kayaking was absolutely perfect and relaxing. We stopped at a cool spot with the waterfall for lunch, saw some wildlife along the way. Checking out their Burgess Falls tour next for sure.

Had a Great day of kayaking with Erik as our guide to Burgess Falls. Erik was very knowledgeable about the area, birds, and everything else. Very personable and made the entire experience very enjoyable. Can't wait to go on another tour with Tennessee Outdoor Guides.

First time using TN Outdoor Guides. The Reggae on the River trip was so much fun! Floating while Austin played sang and played his guitar was relaxing and a nice break from my fast paced life. Austin has a great voice too! Eric pointed out wildlife and gave a little history on some of the landmarks along the way. It was exactly what a guided kayak tour should be!

I've gone on many kayak paddles with Tennessee Outdoor Guides over the past few years and have ALWAYS been beyond happy with my experiences. Each team member is professional, experienced, and eager to assist kayakers as needed. It's always a fun and safe time when going on a kayak paddle led by this team.
