    My Inuit brothers were beckoning me. It was hot, and the invention of the Inuit people of the…read morefrigid cold north would prove to be what the doctor ordered on this hot hOt HoT HOT day. It was so hot! I wish I had a walk-in icebox in my kitchen. What to do, what to do? I wanted to jump in a stream and fly fish, but it was too late. But then, I thought of an item on my To-Do List: kayaking. Yes, props has to be given to fellow Yelpers Soyon K. & Chris F., for putting this business on my radar. I've generally stayed away from the river during the summer like the plague---too crowded, noisy (& hella annoying) jet skiers, and much better options a short drive away. But I had to cool off...and get a work out. I went for two hours for $30, which included all the equipment you'd need and a bottle of water. This was all I could go for since they were only open for two hours. I put in at Howard Amon Park. Now, I've never kayaked before. I had hopes of going all over the place in two hours: paddle up to the Hanford Reach, kayaking up the Yakima, etc. I obviously don't know my abilities very well. The person helping me out suggested something a little less ambitious. I ended up paddling upriver to an island off of Leslie Grove Park--she said some people can't even make it there! This scared me, so I pointed my kayak upward and toward the island. Oh yeah, it's a good workout---remember, use your whole body to paddle or your shoulders will explode! I braved a few waves from boats, and a little bit of slimy plant life, but I managed to make it to the island in: 25min! Jeez, so now I had some time to kill. I ended up paddling around the island (tried to feed some snacks to a flock of Canadian geese, but they raised their noses at me). I then beached and had a bite & drink on the island. I then went down river. Now I would have thought going downriver would have been easier, but it didn't really seem so. Whenever you paddle it's a workout--regardless of water flow. So yeah, such a cool summer activity option. The staff person was super nice, and made everything really easy. I would definitely do it again. This would be a great date activity. Maybe I should take a class though. I don't know what I'd do if I flipped my kayak over--yeah, wouldn't want that to happen on a first date!

    Great place to paddle board and kayak. Everything you need is provided. Different classes and super…read moretours outside of area. Small lesson to get you started included. Tour in the local area of Columbia or near Bateman Island. And for the romantic or night people full moon paddles! Featured in Seattle Times and local tv stations. Oh, paddle boards/kayaks are taken to water for you and you are handed a bottle of water!

There are several play areas, a splash pad, areas for walking, biking, skating, disk golf, regular golf, swimming and other activities that you can think of to do outdoors. There are restrooms throughout the park and some picnic tables to have a picnic at or you can bring your own. Lots of parking throughout the park. It was clean and had a well maintained grass area.

    Yay! I got to get my kayak on for the second time this summer (thanks to my…read moreexpert-kayaking-friend). This time we pushed off from this marina....well, we didn't really use the dock of the marina, we just threw our kayaks in the agua and hopped in our hoopties. The parking is adequate and the facilities are pretty nice. The water here is fairly protected and away from the main flow of the Columbia; although it is a little slimy and gooey in spots. If you go to the "lagoon to the left, you have some nice still water options. It was interesting to paddle around this patch because every few seconds huge cuts and spashes would happen around you (I assume these must have been bass trying to have me lunch). We wanted to practice flipping ourselves in our crafts and getting back on our rides, so we headed out for the open water of the Columbia. Man, there were plenty of people on the water this day, but we managed to find a good place to dunk ourselves---I didn't really mind since it was hella hot out. There are plenty of put-in options in the Tri-Cities and this is but one, but it was certainly adequate, free, and provided an afternoon of fun.

    Horrible experience, horrible service, my boat was damaged and burglarized while in the care of…read moretravel land and they refused to make things right or take any accountability. My boat has now been classified as a bio-hazard by my insurance company. Do not take your boat here. I brought my boat to travel land to have it winterized. It was broken into, burglarized and sustained massive damage to the boat itself during the act. It is now a biohazard after police found a meth pipe and evidence of use in my boat and other paraphernalia while under the care of Travel land. When the service manager called to inform me of the event he immediately told me that they were not responsible and had no intentions of making it right, to contact my insurance if I had it and I'm on my own. The service manager literally told me this analogy in response to my complaint "If your parked car was broken into while shopping at Walmart. Walmart isn't responsible for any damages to your car" Then demanded I pay for the winterizing after my boat has now become a total loss by insurance standards. I was informed by KPD that this is a reoccurring event with Travel Land and they have done nothing to prevent this from happening time and time again and will not press charges on the people that do get caught. They have been able to dodge legal action by stating they are not responsible for any damages or theft and have no liability while under the care of Travel Land in the fine print. It is disguised so you don't know what you are signing, they simply show you a brochure with different service packages, have you circle and sign the package service you want. Little do you know you have just given them diplomatic immunity to any responsibility via fine print on the back of brochure. Now I am out of a boat after making one simple mistake. Taking it to Travel Land for winterization. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH TRAVEL LAND

    I must preface my review with the following disclaimer - when we bought our boat at Traveland, we…read morewere complete novices and didn't know what we didn't know. We should have done more research, and unfortunately, we trusted that a dealership would be fair and honest. Now, for the facts. In June, 2014 we bought a used wakeboard/ski boat from Traveland. The boat had (?) 450+ hours, was never used in salt water, had one previous owner, etc, etc, etc. They provided a one-month warranty (?) and away we went with our first boat. What we have since found out: -boat has had at least 3 owners, including at least one on the west side (Puget Sound) and has spent considerable time in salt water (more on this later) -odometer does not work. boat has/had at least 600 hours on it when we bought it -boat has all kinds of mechanical problems that would be readily apparent to a decent mechanic but are completely hidden from a novice boat buyer (me) We've spent over $4,000 on repairs to this boat, trying to keep it in running condition and so we can honestly sell a functioning boat. We had to have the entire transmission rebuilt due to a seal failure (water in the transmission), which existed long before we bought the boat. The mechanics at Sundown Marine have known this boat for years and were shocked Traveland would sell it without fixing/disclosing the problem. When Sundown pulled the engine to fix the transmission there was evidence of corrosion due to salt water usage. In short, Traveland is a terrible place to do business. I would not trust them with another purchase and I feel sick every time we drive by.
