"As part of a five couple kayaking group we engaged AE Adventures for a week long kayaking adventure working out of Lyons Falls NY. We kicked off the week with a dinner with Scott to brief us on the plan for the week. We had asked to paddle for four days to different locations with a day off in the middle to explore local attractions (we ended up going to the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake - an excellent choice). Each day's trip was on different water - a nice variety of lakes, rivers and streams. We are all fairly experienced calm water paddlers but each of us learned something new from Scott. The boats we used were first class touring kayaks in top notch condition. Scott prepared great sandwiches and snacks for lunch each day and found a comfortable place to go ashore to eat. All in all, Scott provides a great program and we all had a great time. Recommend him highly."
