We had an amazing trip. Saw two bald eagles, learned a little about the local area and felt safe and in good hands the entire trip. Very thorough explanation on how to safely get the most enjoyment out of the trip. Definitely recommend.

Thanks, Phil for the comments. It was a perfect day to be on the water with you two, the eagles were just an added bonus to the day. You all were great company to share the water with - as well as great conversations. We do hope to see you all in the near future and explore another segment.

We had a trip of a lifetime with Silent Wake! We all said that it was the best trip we ever experienced. And while Greece was stunningly beautiful and the food was phenomenal, it was the people that made the trip. And that started with Darren and Kristen. They communicated on everything! If you had a question, they answered immediately. They were so knowledgeable about; kayaking, international travel, trains, ferries and other modes of transportation, lodging, areas and places to stay and on and on and on! They were always available with suggestions or to accommodate a change of activities. They did not just stand off on the side, they were a part of our group and we loved every minute of it. And then there are the people they have partnered with for the trip! Katerina, Ric and their family and staff felt like family the minute we met. Never have i been treated so well and made to feel so special. We never got use to it because it was just so lovely! Then there was the other Katerena and Spiros with Saronic Activities! Again, we were made to feel like family. They were so attentive and so helpful. Never did I think I would experience such service, support and caring. Two very special people. And finally our tour guide who was so interesting and knowledgeable. We enjoyed it all. And who made this all possible, Silent Wake. We will be back, with Silent Wake, and we will never be able to thank them enough for this magical adventure! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bridget

Thank you, Bridget for this joyful review! It was purely our pleasure having you along with this Greek trip and getting to know you during the week. We take great strides to make this trip, and any event we do as easy and informative as possible for everyone - and attempt to make it as personable and tailored for each individual. Looking forward to our future adventures together!

This kayak paddle was an excellent experience.The instruction was helpful, even though I have kayaked frequently in the past. The guide on the trip was informative , knowledgeable and very personable. We enjoyed the river and spotted wildlife along the way. I highly recommend this company for anyone wishing for a pleasant experience on the river.

Thanks, James for the review of your participation in the Kayak Sampler. I am always happy to provide a little commentary about the history of the area and of the water. Seeing the river otter playing on the rock was surely a extra bonus. We hope to see you again in the near future.

Took the "Kayak Essentials" course with Daren. He did a great job explaining and demonstrating everything, and made it a really fun experience. Will definitely be taking some of the more advanced courses in the future

Thank you, Margo for your review! As mentioned early in the day - this particular training session is one of our favorites to teach. From what we saw - that appeared to resonate with you all as well. Now you all have the skill base, don't forget to practice and play as you learn. Hope to see you all again in the near future.

Enjoyed a fun and relaxing adventure exploring a new segment of the Milwaukee River from Fredonia to Saukville last week. If you’re looking to get out on the water I highly recommend Silent Wake, LLC! They brought the kayaks and safety gear. And provided knowledgeable advice and information along the guided tour. Thank you Daren and Kristin for a great day!
Reply from Silent Wake, LLC 2024.08.29
Thank you, Kristen for your kind words. It was our pleasure hosting during your time on the water for this river trip. We were happy to provide some local knowledge, share delightful conversations, and have time to reflect upon the nature which surrounded us. We hope to see you again in the near future.

It was awesome! Darren had everything ready and he did all the hauling on both ends. We offered to help but he did it all! Both Darren and Kristen had great knowledge of the river and were up for any additions or changes to our trip. We never felt rushed. It was just a great day. Also great communication before and after. Even sent pictures from the day. I will definitely paddle with them again!

I went on a Milwaukee River paddle with Silent Wake this last weekend and had a wonderful time. I had ordered the wrong size kayak and Daren was quick to accommodate MY mistake. The equipment was top notch and it was clear both Daren and Kristin knew the river well. Great company and great trip. They even had an eagle fly by right on cue! I’ll definitely go out with them again!
Reply from Silent Wake, LLC 2024.08.07
Thanks Wendy for the review! We always try our best to accommodate everybody so they may enjoy the time on the water. Yes, the eagle was a staged event - we had folks down river awaiting our cue to release it :) We hope to see you again on the water again soon.

Great class great people! Never really kayaked and wanted a class led by professionals with expert instruction, not just jump in the kayak and go. This is your class. On land instruction with safety info, equipment knowledge, answer any and all of your questions, then head into the water for two hours of technique and instructions. I will be back. Thank you Daren and Kristin

Thanks Kathy for the comments! Much like President Hoover promised a "Chicken in every pot"; we promise you'll have a session filled with comfort, compassion, and confidence. We await to see you in your next adventures.
