February Guide Profile Nikki Doyle
 Considered a "guide's guide," Nikki has worked
for Mariah for 17 years and trip-leads on all of the rivers we operate on. She
is from Australia and the accent gives her away as soon as she says "good day,
mate". She kayaks, skis, surfs the big waves, and in the winter months she can
be found leading trips in Costa Rica, Belize, and other countries. Because of
her marine biology background, she has spent part of the last two winters in
Florida, working on a hopper dredge, making sure endangered species do not
become part of what is dredged. Learn more about our
