We went with a group with different levels of experience and all felt comfortable and had a good time. Our guide Brittany gave us a great tutorial, checked in with us regularly to make sure we were doing okay, and gave us a lot of information about the lake, mountains, and surrounding area. We got to see nesting osprey and herons. It was a fun and unique way to explore the area and we would definitely recommend it!

Lake Dillion was so beautiful and clear and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made us feel prepared and safe and relaxed. It was a peaceful and fun experience for our family! We want to do it again. Worth every penny. Made lots of memories!

If it's your first visit to Dillon Lake don't waste your time renting a kayak and going out on your own. The tour is the way to go. Our guide took us to coves with ospreys and herons that we would never have found. Our guide was also very informative with all sort of interesting facts about Summit County.

Our guide did a wonderful job. He did a refresher on Kayaking since our whole group had done it before just not in the area. He was very engaged throughout the entire trip. He educated us on all the mountains in the area, history if the lake/town of Dillon, the rivers that feed into the lake, the dam, the local wildlife, etc. He took great photos that we will cherish. And in general, the trip was breathtaking. Highly recommend this trip to anyone I know!

Our group of 6 had a great time kayaking around Lake Dillon in Colorado. Our guide gave us clear instructions (some of us had never kayaked before) and told us all kinds of things about the areas/mountains around the lake. Would definitely do it again!

We tried kayaking for the first time on the Island Kayak Tour. I was nervous but our guide Ryan explained everything thoroughly before we even got in the kayak. He kept checking to make sure everyone was ok and comfortable while telling us about Dillon Reservoir and the area. I appreciated his knowledge, enthusiasm and friendliness. Wonderful experience - highly recommend to everyone. We can't wait to Kayak again!

We booked our kayaking tour on line and received clear and concise instructions on when and where to arrive. That was a great start. Upon arrival the tour guide introduced himself and gave safely/kayaking instructions. The guide was also a physical therapist so he gave many tips on the upper body/core movements, and how to sit, slightly leaning forward and rotate the torso. This really helped in having no pains after the kayaking. The company also provided splash guards which was awesome as the water was cold 🥶! Everything went perfectly during our 2.5 hour tour from the group being a small group of 4 couples and one single. We had goals we would kayak to, where the guide would discuss the lake, birds & nests, the mountain ranges and some HX of Dillon. The guide took many photos and showed a number best photo opportunity spots. We were the last in the group and he even offered to tow us if we wanted. Thankfully we didn’t need that! The water was calm and sparkling and the activity got us a great start to the day. 9-11:30am is a terrific time to go. Our daughter was in the single kayak and said she felt very stable & safe, although she did get a good workout.

We have been to the Summit County area before but had not had the opportunity to get out on Lake Dillon. The 2.5 hour kayak tour was perfect. Ryan was a great guide full of information about the area history and wildlife as your recreate on the lake He also made sure we were all safe on what can be a busy lake. Due to my procrastination in booking we were on the 11:30 tour but the weather/wind cooperated and it was a great day and perfect tour. Would not heistate to recommend this tour to others.

Our guide was extreme knowledgeable about all of the plants and wildlife, making this a great tour of Lake Dillon. He checked in often to make sure we were safe. We all had an amazing experience, including our kids (6 and 9 years old). This was a great Colorado experience that we won’t forget!

My husband and I just enjoyed an absolutely wonderful morning kayaking with this exceptional tour company. Our friendly guide Norris was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife as well as navigating around just about every island and cove in the lake. We saw moose, bald eagles, osprey, etc. Being avid kayakers from Florida, we've always wanted to kayak in a Colorado lake, surrounded by majestic mountains. We'll treasure this memory. Go make some memories with Adventure Paddle Tours. You'll be glad you did!
