Matthew is absolutely the best in here. We booked our trip last minute, but he still managed to be flexible and gave us a kayak with all the gears included. Very nice guy. Very helpful. Highly recommend this experience with him! Me and my husband had a great time!

The nighttime Glacier Tour was absolutely amazing! Joshua & Samantha were great guides, sharing local information and stories. Being in the middle of the lake with the canopy of stars overhead is an experience that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

We went on a night kayak tour and it was lovely! We could see fish swimming below the illuminated clear bottom boat, but the most beautiful part was the stars! Jo, the guide, had some really fun facts about the surrounding area and the lake! I really liked the added knowledge he shared!

JO Paddle nightime tour was simply wonderful. We had a full (though orange) moon, lots of great stories about the area, some good paddling, and found JO Paddle safety standards to be exceptional. I really enjoyed Melvin, too, but you will have to go on a paddle to meet him yourself!

Beyond wonderful experience with JO Paddle today on the nighttime tour. Safety-minded, informative tour guides made this an evening to remember! Still water, beautiful clear skies, Melvin the Heron and memories for a lifetime! 10/10 - highly recommend!

Wow! Fantastic people, amazing service and a memorable experience. Our group had little kids so we didn’t think a tour would fit well, but they got us all set up for a fun day on the water. Can’t wait to come back and participate in a tour next time!

Great experience! Beautiful night on the lake. We weren’t able to tour the normal route due to wind, but we honestly wouldn’t have known there was a problem if they had not said anything. The light up boats were fun and loved watching the full moon rise on the water. A must do when visiting the lake!

We had a totally enjoyable night paddle on Wallowa Lake. The clear boats allowed us to see the lakebed in shallow water and the fish swimming underneath us. Matthew shared geology facts, stories and history about the lake and county. At the conclusion of the paddle, we stargazed with our boat lights off. Great evening on the water!

We were out on the water as the sun went down and the stars came out. I saw 2 shooting stars. Our guide gave us information about the geology, history, native Americans, the story of Wally, the lake monster, and even info on where to see the local spots where Homeward Bound was filmed. Such a cool experience. Worth every penny.

The team is great. Very considerate and helpful in all ways in planning and executing our afternoon outing. This was a very pleasant experience with their help and the clear bottom kayak. Will DEFINITELY go back to them for our next visit and kayak outing.
