Fantastic kayak tour! We...

Published on Jan, 2025

Fantastic kayak tour! We had the river all to ourselves during the off-season. The cave was impressive, but what really enriched the experience was our guide, Juston. He provided fascinating insights into the local wildlife and the history of the dam construction. Additionally, Juston pointed out mountain goats, bald eagles, and other indigenous wildlife.

Excellent!

SUP Kayak Club was fantastic! Guide confirmed information via text the day before and was early to meet us day of. It was a windy day yet the guide led the tour expertly while pointing out interesting tidbits along the way. He took pictures and forwarded them once the tour was finished. We felt we were in excellent hands and highly recommend booking a tour with them!!

The tour guide was awesome, he was very kind and was very helpful. He worked extra hard for the guess. He provided our photos are high quality and free. It was our first time and we took our time to row our boats and we had fun the whole way. I would recommend it.
