Guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Fun time. Saw dolphins before leaving on the trip and during the trip, along with osprey, heron, and eagle. Good length of time, worth the money.

We had a great time ; the guides were laid back and full of information about the area and environment. Kayaking is a favorite activity of mine in Colorado; this 3 hour tour did not disappoint.

We had a great kayak trip with Chris. Even though it kicked our butts! The three hour experience was fun and moved along quickly. We appreciated the education and things we learned about the area. The time on the beach was a perfect mini adventure for my 6 year old daughter.

Enjoyable trip. We saw a large number of dolphins. Didn’t realize that they were tandem kayaks but that was ok.

Kari H

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Our guide was super knowledgeable about the area. We were able to see multiple species of birds and were joined by dolphins on our way back to the launch. I would highly recommend this tour.

Chris is an excellent guide for taking you through some of the waterways of Alabama and discussing and pointing out some of the biodiversity of this region. He loves to share his knowledge of his state. Chris combines wit with education and this makes for a fun and fascinating trip. He especially likes dolphins. Chris is honest about his trips and what you can expect to see. His knowledge base extends beyond the Southeast region. He is excellent with children as well. The kayaking experience itself was very relaxing..
