What a nice store!! We were united with one of your guides and then went on a very fun, exiting, and relaxing kayaking trip out to Carrot Island. Much to our surprise we saw wild horses and lots of other wildlife. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and lots of fun to be with. You have a great company!! We hope to enjoy your service again in the future.

We had a GREAT time with our guide! We saw so many horses up close and got quite a well-
needed workout!
