It was nice to have the option to rent kayaks outside of a tour. Everyone I interacted with, from when I made reservations and then having to change them last minute, to meeting us on time at the marina, was excellent. Great customer service! And being on the river was beautiful.

We had an amazing experience with River Dogz and Ryan as our guide! The kayaking instruction was super helpful, Ryan took tons of pictures for the group and was informative about the history, the area, animals and more. This is a great kayaking trip for beginners through experienced. Thanks River Dogz!

Loved the River Dogz guided kayak tour to Emerald Cave. This stretch of River is calm and picturesque with shockingly clear water. Even without the cave it would be worth the trip. Preston was a pleasant and knowledgeable guide. High marks all around!
