Our first visit to Down Wind Sports was last summer when we visited Marquette and my son wanted to…read moretry rock climbing. We got connected with an amazing guide for the very next day. My son loved it! While we were there, the staff also gave us some great mountain biking recommendations for the area and told us about their summer climbing camp for kids. This summer, we signed him up for the camp, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. The instructors were outstanding--patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled at teaching climbing techniques. Most importantly, I always felt my son was safe and well cared for. On the last day of camp, they even opened the store a little late for us so we could pick up some things before we headed home. They really couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We can't wait to go back!

I purchased a kayaking excursion voucher through Uncle Ducky's / Paddling Michigan during a holiday…read morepromotion and later traveled from out of town specifically for this experience, spending additional money on lodging, gas, food, and travel expenses in order to participate. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disorganized and unprofessional from the moment I arrived. The building was locked, no guide or management staff were present, there was no organized check-in process, and there was absolutely no communication regarding what was happening. Multiple guests were left outside confused and attempting to determine whether the tour was even operating. Company-associated staff eventually arrived but provided no meaningful information until directly prompted. At that point, they stated they were only shuttle drivers and that they had to "figure out what was going on" after the scheduled rendezvous time had already passed. At no point within the first 20 minutes of our rendezvous was there was any clear communication, leadership, organization, or professionalism demonstrated by the company. Considering they're responsible for guiding customers onto Lake Superior, I no longer felt comfortable or safe participating in the excursion and chose not to proceed with 10 minutes remaining until the a scheduled launch time. I attempted to resolve this directly via email since management wasn't present during working hours and present staff couldn't provide a direct way to contact management; however, they refused to issue a refund. The owner instead responded publicly to a review in a defensive manner while claiming an emergency situation had occurred. He even blamed my inability to adapt over his employees vague and unprofessional verbal responses and despite three shuttle drivers being present and not shuttling us to our launch. The issue is the complete lack of communication, organization, professionalism, and reasonable resolution afterward.
