    Fantastic

    I was with my husband and our 2 teens. None of us had ever paddleboarded before and the instruction was spot on. We learned quickly and were able to see the turtles. It was amazing.

    Murky water

    We did see turtles but the water was not clear. The distance was about right and quiet down on the river. We did have to carry the boards to and from the water which I think the guides should do as a service. Also, there's no actual building it's just a van that shows up at the beach. We drove back and forth looking for the address, don't do that.

    Best Day Ever

    Paddleboarding this little river was so much fun! We saw a couple of turtles, one swam right past us and another was asleep on the bank. Our guides were awesome and the tour group was small, just the two of us and a family of four. Highly recommend!
