I’ve watched him with many new students and am always impressed with how patient he is with those who are just beginning. Even if you have been paddling for years, you will still learn something new from him.

His tours are unique because they are private and the amount of time you spend on your tour is really up to you. When you book a tour with Mike it’s just your group. You are not mixed in with other groups who may want to go longer or shorter than you do. So no money is wasted and the experience is much more relaxed and enjoyable.
