This was such a beautiful experience. Deb was great to work with and she is full of knowledge on history in the area. We couldn’t have asked for anything more and we will definitely be booking another kayak rental with KoKoMo Kayak tours the next time we are in town!

What a great way to spend a morning on the water. Deb's love of the area showed as she pointed out many interesting things along the way. We stopped at a secluded beach for a break. I will recommend this to everyone. It's even perfect for your first time on a kayak.
