We had an incredible half-day kayaking tour yesterday with a party of six, and our guide, Michelle, was absolutely amazing! Even at the very tail end of a long day in 110-degree heat, Michelle went the extra mile for our comfort. Instead of making us sit in a sweltering vehicle, she drove the bus around the parking lot multiple times just to let the AC cool down the interior before we got in. That level of care and thoughtfulness is rare. Highly recommend River Dogz and Michelle!

Incredible experience, our guide Preston was so knowledgeable and kind. He is the kind of person that would brighten your day, in an already blindingly sunny day

Had the best day kayaking! Luke and the River Dogs team explained what to expect and made it easy to pick up kayaking . Luke was an amazing guide adding alot of history and local knowledge to stops along the way.

Excellent tour. Well organised and executed. Ryan was a brilliant tour guide who provided lots of interesting information about the area and local wildlife. It was also extremely hot and Ryan made sure we all stayed hydrated. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a paddle boarding experience

The tour with Ryan, tour guide from River Dogz, was absolutely amazing! He added extra, engaging touches to the kayak trip by providing history of the area, safety of kayaking and jokes along the way. The 4+ miles kayak trip, for a novice, was very doable. We booked a later trip on Saturday and it was the perfect time because we had the opportunity to see the cove without waiting in a line. Our group of 9, including Ryan, was from all over the world and we were out of this world great!! I would recommend this outfit and look for River Dogz again.
