"I love working with Blue Water Ventures on my AP Environmental Science Elkhorn Slough Field Trip! The students love working with Kim and her assistants--even if they never have kayaked, they are comfortable and I am comfortable with the safety instruction and expertise on the trip! Kim always accommodates my special requests as a teacher and adds in her great stories and observations for the students. Its a great trip!"

"I didn't think it was possible to top Blue Water Ventures 5-star Belize trip -- but Tonga was truly the adventure of a lifetime! From snorkeling in the water with the awe-inspiring whales, to learning basket-weaving from the women of Tonga, to staying in huts right on the water in 3 different amazing islands, to truly magical snorkeling -- and of course led by Kim's infectious enthusiasm, thoughtful planning, and wonderful sense of adventure, it's unbeatable!”

"Kim Powell and her team are simply the best in enabling you to have an outdoor adventure on or near water. Having taken trips with Blue Water Ventures to Baja California, whale watching, Loon Lake and Mendocino, kayaking I can testify that each trip provides a wonderful, safe, informative and playful environment in which to get "closer to nature". Kim's knowledge as a naturalist combined with her "deep blue" passion experience make for an exceptional combo. Highly recommended!”
