Very professional, always safety in mind, informative explanations of the area visited and overall super helpful to make us feel comfortable and relaxed. They offered a wonderful lunch on a deserted island with everything one could want. We were able to visit places not easily accessible and it sure was a good workout. Can highly recommend Matt and his crew. Thank you very much for a great adventure." - Roland G., TripAdvisor Time: Meet at 8:30am the day of the tour at the end of the road in Comeau's Hill (a link in Google Maps will be provided in a welcome E-mail at time of booking).
