We had a great time kayaking on Swatara Creek with Cocoa Kayak rentals. We have kayaked a handful of times and still learned some helpful pointers from Mike. We also enjoyed learning about conservation efforts in the area from him. We selected a two hour trip, which was the right amount of time for us. We saw a deer and a variety of birds including great blue herons, Baltimore orioles, tree swallows, and a belted king fisher. The water levels were a bit low in some areas, but still enough for a fun kayaking trip.

Professional yet friendly and fun. The boss Mike found out I was alone, so he tagged along and made it like a private touring session (for the regular price!). He is smart and shared much about the historical context of the place as well as the ecological environment. The business clearly works hard to make the customers really enjoy their time. I had a great time and I will be going back.
