What Our Customers Say
“I took a group of exchange students here 08.26.25, leading up to the event the staff was very accommodating and helpful. Their guides are very knowledgeable about the area and have interesting history on the area. Would highly recommend them if the weathers good, and you’re looking for an alternative outside activity.”

“Had a great time on our kayak tour. Jay was awesome!. Really love the lotus flowers. Buffalo Rock was a really cool place to take pictures. We were lucky enough to have really really good weather in low boat traffic. We did see a paddle wheel boat go by.”
