I've kayaked a number of times before, including on Lake Michigan and for a camping trip, but I've never gotten the kind of attention and instruction that Daren provided. Our group ranged in age from 10 to 73 and in experience from novice to never having been in a kayak before. I think this would have been challenging for a number of the kayak companies I've rented from before but Daren did a wonderful job of providing help and instruction where needed but also giving us space to have our own adventure. I really can't say enough about how organized and knowledgeable Daren is. He was on time, had the right gear and had us on the water in no time. Also, his Covid-19 precautions were fantastic, it made us all feel very safe. More importantly he provided my family with a wonderful experience. I will definitely be booking with him again.
