"This guy is AWESOME. From the moment I emailed him to the moment we pulled the kayaks out of the water, he provided A1 customer service! He was able to work with our hectic Saturday morning schedule and had our kayak out and ready for us once we finally got there. We ended up paddling the Northwest River for about 4 hours. We went out unguided, but when we returned, he offered a TON of useful information on other kayak locations. We look forward to using Adventure Kayak & SUP again! Thank you!!"

"Great kayaking trip made possible by Kevin and crew. Quickly answered several pre-trip questions with great advice, and further tips upon excursion which made for an amazing trip on the Northwest River. Saturday morning in the summer, with only 1 boat encounter over 2 hours. Saw several bird species while paddling through the cypress trees thanks to Kevin's recommendation for the outing. Will definitely rent again (even though we already have our own) on our next trip as the whole process was superb!"

"We had an awesome time. We only rented one to add to our fleet, but that one was very good! The guide was helpful as we are new to this river. Explained the best way to tour the river and what to avoid. Very nice put-in, and the rental covers parking. We will be back!"
