Recently, my husband, Bill Prince, and I took
a beautiful full-day kayak trip with your company.
We kayaked on Thursday, July 15th, and although
Dave has no control over the wildlife aspect, we saw otters, eagles, seals,
just about everything we wanted. Dave made sure we were all comfortable
and knew what we were doing. He answered every question with the utmost
patience and offered tons more information without prompting. He was really
great and we just thought you should know!
