Matt is a top notch instructor, the course was laid out and demonstrated in an easy to follow format, we had plenty of time to practise and demonstrate the new learned skills and had plenty of one on one instruction. I would highly recommend and will be returning to learn from Explore Canoeing!

Matt has instructed me through my tandem basic levels 1-3, and more recently my basic canoe level 4 solo. Matt is so patient and skillful, and a really great instructor. I felt very safe with his guidance, and I would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to level up their paddling skills.
