Great experience. Recommend!
Nice weather and good staffers. Great activity for all ages .
Our trip been cancelled by the owner . Try to get refunded and no one answers the phone and no reply to our email. We come from long way for this activity. Very disappointed.
Hi Michelle, We always strive to give our customers a great, safe experience, and for this reason had to cancel operations the day of your booking due to weather conditions. We always ensure that we email customers as early as possible, as well as update the website to reflect these operating changes. We unfortunately have very patchy reception for phone calls due to our rural location and due to staff sickness we were running a few hours behind in our processing of refunds. Your refund has been processed according to the request in your email, with our apologies for the delayed response. We hope to see you another time so you can experience Clearyak on a great weather day!
It was an amazing experience and the team there were great in getting us on the water and dealing with new people coming in. Very pleasant and helpful. They can out to check on us and were able to take a few pictures of us. Goat Island is a magical place and well worth the visit in a Clear bottomed Kayak.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you had a great time out on the water and that our team could help make your experience enjoyable. It’s always a pleasure to capture those special moments for our guests! Goat Island really is a magical place, and we're glad you got to enjoy it in one of our clear kayaks. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Amazing experience
Great experience! Water is clear with some cute snappers. Staff are friendly, patient and professional! My parents didn’t have much experience in kayaking, one of the staff (with glasses) was with them all the time. It was super nice and considerate! Recommend 10/10!
