Peninsula Kayak Company

Peninsula Kayak's guides clearly make the experience here. Margaret, Gordon, Maris, and Sophie get called out repeatedly for being knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely fun to paddle with. Margaret seems especially popular on the Cave Point tours, navigating groups safely through wind and waves while keeping things informative and relaxed. Gordon gets high marks for making nervous beginners feel comfortable, and Maris earns praise for entertaining stories and wildlife spotting on the wetland route. The tours range from peaceful wetland paddles to more adventurous lake excursions around dramatic cliff formations. A few practical tips come up: you will get wet, so bring a change of clothes and phone protection (or buy it there for $10). Most tours use tandem kayaks, with single kayaks available first-come-first-serve, so calling ahead helps if you have a preference. The routes can be physically demanding if you're not used to paddling, but guides adjust to conditions and skill levels. Across the board, people seem to leave with exactly the kind of memory they were hoping for.
