    River kayak

    Keith_W, Sep 2025
    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...

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

    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!

    Girls trip

    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

    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.

    Nice peaceful kayaking

    Joni_J, Aug 2024
    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.

    Great for beginners/ great time
