This was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend. Not one complaint. We rented kayaks and explored at our own pace. We could not have asked for a better outing. We would definitely do this again.

Totally not what we...

Richard_G, Aug 2025

Totally not what we expected the cost was way to much for what we got but the food prices were not crazy

Thanks so much! We're glad you had an amazing time exploring. Hope to see you back out there again!

Good workout

Brenda_R, Jul 2025

It’s a workout. Don’t get the tandem kayak cause that will slow you down unless you’ve done it before. The tour guide brings additional water and snacks.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks for the tip! Glad you made the most of the experience!

Easy and fun trip down River.

Christine_G, Jul 2025

Great day trip even in stifling hot weather! The water was cool and clear. The rental could not have been easier. The staff was great and even offered extra water on an extremely warm (112f) day.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Appreciate the kind words! So glad the heat didn’t slow you down. We’ll always keep the water flowing and vibes cool!

Jasmin_R, Jun 2025

I had book for the wrong day and even though they were so busy they took the time to accommodate us that same day. Such a great team.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We’re really glad we could help sort that out for you Jasmine, even on a busy day! Our team always tries to go the extra mile to make things work. Thanks for the kind words — you’re welcome back anytime!

Emerald What?

Tonya_H, Apr 2025

The views were tremendous! Water was awesome! As far as a Cave though...I would notbsay that was a Cave. It was literally like two kayaks deep. Pictures were a little overpromising. I didn't think it was spectacular at all but the views makes the trip worth it!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thanks for the review Tonya, glad you had an awesome day and enjoyed the views! Yeah I agree, the cave is only the cherry on top. It's really the rest of the trip that makes the experience. The river level is also really high right now, so it's makes the cave smaller this time of year. Anyway, thanks again for joining us!
