Our tour guide was Jesse. He was very informative and knowledgeable. Vz had a bit of wind on the first leg of the trip making the paddling a little more challenging but made it easier. On the way back we saw lots of birds which Jesse identified for us. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience.
