TESTIMONIALS

Lois Said...

My son and his friend went on your two hour kayak exploration yesterday from Cobo. They are aged 18 and 20. They both totally loved the experience and were hugely enthusiastic when I collected them. This is all the more noteworthy, because, as urban boys, they had huge amounts of fun with not a drop of alcohol. Thank you for providing such a tremendous service and experience. We will be booking again. Lois
