Summary: This was an excellent experience for some older ladies who were not quite sure if they were going to do well on a kayak. We did great and Gordon took excellent care of us. Would highly recommend no matter the level of kayaking experience. The shore line was beautiful. The water was perfect temp. And views of the cave from the water was really nice.

Summary: We had a fantastic time! Dane, our guide, was super friendly and knew so much about the geology of the lakeshore. That made it so much more than just a kayak outing. I'd highly recommend this tour.
