Blue Jellyfish SUP Adventures

The overnight paddle boarding trip we took to Portland Island with Blue Jellyfish SUP Adventures was fantastic. I can't stop raving about it, my niece and I had the best time and we saw orcas!  Pam and Sarah were delightful, so kind and friendly.  They took good care of us less experienced paddlers and campers and made sure we felt safe and comfortable and enjoyed the adventure.  Pam has so much expertise and knowledge, which she generously shared to help us improve our paddling and camping skills.  I am already thinking about the next trip with Blue Jellyfish, can't wait.
