Not at all impressed. He has a couple good staff but this guy is all about the money. He will promise to return your deposit if you need to cancel but don't count on it. If you press him you might get a credit but it will be non transferable and time limited. Course cancelled due to Covid? Tough luck. If you have to take a course with blue dog, only pay with a visa, and if there is a dispute, you might at least have visa on your side. I can't remember the last time I wrote a negative review, but I've heard enough other stories now that I'm going public. This guy is way too manipulative, included with awarding certification. There are plenty of other instructors around who are a lot friendlier and easier to deal with . To follow up on the bluedog response : Amber, there is only one bluedog, and there is no mistake. To be fair , I have heard good things about you, but my beef is with Dave, the owner. I stand by my comments. Still waiting for my refund but not likely I'm going to see it short of taking him to court.

Great instructor! A great combination of theory and practice. We were able to practice all of the kayak strokes as well as wet exit, assisted re-entry and solo re-entry. Highly recommend this group for both introductory and advanced kayak skills.
Great yaks and guides. These guys know their game. My wife and I did a wildlife paddle and saw seals, otters, minks, deer, heron, crabs and ate the most delicious shoreline blackberries we've ever had. I also did a private rolling lesson which helped a ton. I learned a layback roll I was confident in within an hour and a half. Highly recommend!
Awesome company! Great location and equipment.. but most importantly, enthusiastic and passionate staff! THE place to go for paddling instruction and coaching. Thanks Dave.
Great Experience I was a complete beginner and by the end of my holiday I had received my level 2 kayaking. As well as learning a lot about kayaking, camping and the local area I had unbelievable amount of fun. Dave was an incredible instructor building my confidence up the water, encouraging to push myself and test my ability whilst always making me feel in a safe learning environment. I could not recommend enough and I look forward to visiting next year (maybe going for my next qualification and also trying out some of the other activities blue dog provide).
