Article on Paragon Guides
"The guides were exceptional.
I have never participated in a guided adventure before, but
have been a guide for nearly 20 years. A university professor
in outdoor education, and an owner of a sea-kayak business
employing 30 guides. With my experience I found Paragon's
guides to be kind, fun and professional at all times. They
are a real asset to Paragon Guides"
