We had an incredible time! Great communication and notes on preparing for the excursion. Everyone was so nice and a special shout out to our guide Preston! We had a great diverse group and although hot, Preston made sure we were all cool and safe. Loved it and I would go out with this company again in a heartbeat! Thank you

Fantastic experience. Preston was a great guide with an awesome sense of humor that made it a special day for my family. I would do this trip again in a heat beat.

Our family had an amazing kayaking experience with River Dogz Kayak Tours. This was our first time and Michelle, our tour guide made sure we are safe. It was a fun adventure and the scenery was beautiful. Well organized company. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable experience. Thank you Michelle and River Dogz!

We had the best time on this adventure! Our guide was so knowledgeable and fun. Our group had every level of experience and she was able to help everyone and still keep the trip moving. I love how Michelle pointed out, interesting, historical, and scenic land points. Really easy to find and River Dogz makes the Kayak experience available to all levels!
