 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience with Grant!  It was a windy day, but we were given tips and tricks to make the most out of our hour kayaking and to stay safe.  Small note, there's no bathroom around the rental site, so make sure you go before you get there!
