“I brought my 4 year old daughter in a double kayak. I’d been kayaking many times before, so it was easy enough. Our guide was kind to her and considerate of the route and activities based on our group. What I love about having a guide on something like this is they show you areas you might otherwise feel comfortable exploring, like a small tunnel cave. Very beautiful scenery, nice swimming, and I recommend!”
