    A friend and I decided to take a last minute paddle. Peter was really helpful and informative and got us set up and on the water quickly. It was a great experience and I will definitely be going back!

    We had a fantastic morning canoeing with Peter. Great coach and wonderful company. We found out a lot about the history of the area and met some of the locals. We will certainly join for future sessions, thank you!
