Relaxing 2 hr paddle to the island which was currently under water, but we still had a great time paddling through the trees looking at everyone. Wonderful tour guide Natasha and perfect weather!

Great time on the kayak. Paddled out for about half an hour then back then the other direction. Fun little outdoor experience.

It is a nice site-they have a cute petting zoo and the bathrooms and changing areas are good. The layout is very nice with shaded areas. They had very good service as well. It was easy to get on the river and the employees were very nice and helpful. The only point I would make is that the title Of the tour says kayaking to a private island. It is accurate, but it gave me the impression we would kayak to the island and be allowed to explore. This is not the case. You go up one side of the river for the first half ( about 45 minutes) and then you go up the other side where this island resides (although it looks no different than the banks of the river we just paddled by) and he points to it and explains who owns it. We just rest there for a few minutes and paddle back to the tour place. I’d say the total time, including getting the life jackets and training was about 1.5 hours.

It was quite the adventure today. Rain and more rain but so worth it. Noah was so fun to kayak with, sharing lots of good facts. Overall a great time!!

Great paddle experience full of history and beautiful nature. Elizabeth was our guide, she brought an element of comedy which was much appreciated!

I recently booked this kayaking trip and had an amazing experience. The scenery was beautiful, the water was calm, and the entire trip was both relaxing and exciting. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, making everyone feel safe and comfortable regardless of experience level.
What I enjoyed most was being able to slow down, take in nature, and spend time on the water. The equipment was in great condition, and the overall organization of the trip was excellent. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun outdoor adventure or just a peaceful day on the water. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Natasha was a good guide. She helped those with no kayak experience learn how to paddle and navigate the River. It was an easy paddle down and back. We saw turtles, an Ibis, herons, egrets and black ducks. It wasn’t exciting but it was a good way to spend the morning.

First time kayaking and it was a great experience! Noah was our instructor and guided our group well through the river.

There were three of us ladies that had a great time on the river. It was relaxing and very adventurous at the same time. Noah was more tour guide who was very sweet. We met the owner, Jeff, who was hands on during the entire tour. Great people!

We loved having this group of ladies spend some time with us out on the water. A very fun group, even if Michele only spells her name with one L. :)

Relaxing. Didnt see many animals. We didn't get a chance to get out of the kayak to explore, would have made the experience better. It is an easy river tour for first time kayakers. Our tour guide was polite and answered questions of the river and its history.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Hi Heather, I apologize your didn't get an opportunity to get out of the kayak to explore on your trip. Each kayak tour should be given the option to stop at the island and get out of your kayaks for a few minutes. I will speak with your guide and see why you were not given that option. There are times when the water level in the river is too high to do that but that is really the only exception unless the guests choose to not stop and get out at the island.
Obviously we are not able to control what wildlife each tour may or may not see, it can vary greatly from tour to tour.

Had never been kayaking before. It was a good low current river for a first time. Very peaceful and pretty. Good guide who shared info about the area. And it only took a couple of hours from arrival to finish.
