Lindsay was an amazing guide and has a plethora of knowledge about the area -- I learned so much about the birds, sea life, and history!
We had a wonderful time and the guides were fabulous! We really appreciated the waterproof jackets they gave all of us to wear...it made the whole adventure WAY better than other kayaking experiences we have had elsewhere. Also, the laminated maps and animal identification pages were greatly appreciated.
