Review of Grand Experiences Canoe and Kayak Outfitters

4 years ago

Pros

Pros
1. The trips are beautiful
2. The canoes are really good quality
3. Staff was very pleasant to deal with

Cons
1. Pricing is confusing (call to verify pricing for your booking)
2. Day of trip staff seemed disorganized and unprepared. We were dropped off to our launch point by cab, then waited over a half hour for our boat and gear to show up
3. Aluminum/plastic canoe paddles (a bit cheap considering the cost)
4. Cost is a bit much (my opinion)

Also - If you are planning a paddle down the Grand River be aware that this is NOT a river for the beginner. This is something I really feel they do not make clear enough. Very shallow, lots of rocks, and fast water. You really need to understand how to handle a canoe and how to identify obstacles. If you are a beginner choose a guided experience!
