"Mike was an awesome guide! He remembered us from last time (we've never been there before)! He's great and we had a great time in the water at lake Ivanhoe! He even called us paddle boarding pros. We love to paddle board and we even got to use clear ones which was pretty cool!!"

"THIS is the place to go for Kayaking with your pets! Mike is an absolute trip and made our experience completely next level with the clear kayaks. We opted for the exploration route instead of the tour, but Mike is THE GUY that knows everything about this little town, it's history, and his passion is more than worth the guided tour if that's your thing. Thanks for a great experience and never stop being a ROCKSTAR! 🎸🏄🤘🤘"
