The 50 yr old crew CAN handle this!

Dena_G, Jul 2025

Our group of 50 yr old women with minimal to no experience on paddle boards had the best time! They were patient, encouraging and supportive. Keegan was so sweet and kind engaging in conversation but giving us our space at the same time.

We love hearing that! Big Willies is for everyone, and it’s always a joy to see guests of all ages having a great time. Thanks for showing that fun knows no age limit—we’re so glad you joined us!

Must do activity

Great activity. So fun, and even beginners would feel at ease. Great communication and our tour guide Josh was great! Fun time had by all!

Nice views on the river

Aimee_M, Aug 2024

Our guide was really flexible and friendly. It was kind of windy that day so we pivoted and chose to go on kayak and they made it really easy.

After 2 days of bar...

Keith_O, Jun 2024

After 2 days of bar hopping and live music we were looking for a change in plans. This was one of the ideas and it was a great way to spend the day.

Extremely fun!

Daniela_L, Jun 2023

Our guide was super helpful! We fell a couple times (our balance isnt the best) But we had soo many laughs! We love that they take picture so that the memories are there to look back at later! Highly Recommend

Must do experience!
