“Alex was really knowledgeable about the area, the wildlife and history. He was patient with a couple of people who struggled with their Kayak. He gave a great introduction to kayaking and safety. The weather was great for the time of year and we actually got to see very active dolphins which mae my day and everyone else's, including Alex.
