Reviews & Ratings
report as inappropriateThis was awesome. Highly recommended. Kirk is a nut, but exactly the way I want a foraging teacher to be like! He LOVES his job and it shows. He's incredibly entertaining and fun. You'll be sorry if you miss out on this treasure of an experience.
report as inappropriateMy group of friends had a great time with Kirk. He really knows his stuff, and is an awesome teacher and fun guy to learn from. After this tour I definitely want to take his other tours!
report as inappropriateKirk is quite a character and wealth of knowledge. Though I expected to dig in the sand for clams and get wet, the experience was still great. We learned how to set traps to catch crab, how to pick mussels off the wall, how to throw a net to hypothetically catch herring, and how to catch an eel. So neat! I definitely had little interest in the topic, but thought the tour would be fun and learned a lot.
report as inappropriateKirk's tour/talk is so interesting that I plan on booking another asap!
