Testimonials

"Just wanted to let you know how great Judy and Babette [guides] were on our recent trip....talk about being great teachers!!!! They turned 2 neophytes into canoers, and with great patience and encouragement all the way! The whole trip was awesome, and those ladies were as spectacular as the scenery!"

Becca and Stephanie Tyler, Gross Point, MI

"Not only was our safety of great concern, but the guides' individual personalities greatly contributed to the enjoyment of the trip. What a special treat to have guitar playing/singing river guides!"

"John [guide] was wonderful with the kids, Bob's [guide] knowledge of geology was a plus and Jim [guide] was well organized. Everything ran smoothly."

Nicole Hopewell, Longmont, CO

"The zoo curator did an amazing job with both the kids and the adults. The other people on the trip were wonderful - like you screened them to make sure we'd all get along. Your brochures and website don't do it justice!! We will definitely be back. "
