Beautiful Kayak Tour

Our family of 3 had a great time on a private sunset kayaking tour with Bodie as our guide! We enjoyed the quiet Wind River tour. No wind at all, no other people and just a nice, calm river to paddle around. We had individual kayaks and they were easy to paddle. Our college age son enjoyed talking with Bodie about starting college and his first year experience! On the way back down the river, we went to the intersection of the Hood River and enjoyed the sunset view, took some pictures, and watched salmon jump out of the water all around us! That was very cool! Went for dinner afterward in Hood River.

Fun Experience

We did a sunset kayaking guided tour with Connor and Bodie and really enjoyed it. They showed us some different wildlife in the area, pointed out fish the few times we saw them, and gave us a little bit of area history. We were amazed at how clear the water was and deceptively deep it was in a few places! There was a small rapids area at the turn around point that were a little bit of a work out, but most of the time it was pretty easy going. Great experience for a beginner.

We booked the sunset kayaking and had had a fantastic tour! With Andrew as a guide we also got to know a lot about the wildlife and the surrounding of the area. We had awesome views and enjoyed the entire trip!
