Wife and I went into this activity with an idea of what we hoped it would be. Initially, we were a little apprehensive from reading the waiver they want you to sign. It sounded like the kayak activity was the next thing to skydiving without a parachute. We pressed on and booked for Monday, September 4. We were met at the starting place by the guide Gavin who quieted all our fears. We had a great time. Gavin was very knowledgeable about the area, the kayaks and the flora/fauna we would be seeing. I highly recommend this experience. The amount of time spent paddling was just right. Gavin was a pleasure to be with and our experience was what we hoped it would be. Don't let the waiver scare you away.

We all loved this (me, husband, teenage daughter). Went for a 5.30 slot when it was a little cooler. Flan was a great guide, friendly, warm, informative. The kayaking is suitable for all abilities and is so tranquil and relaxing. Not physically demanding but you also feel like you get a bit of exercise while gently paddling through the beautiful, rare maritime forest. And there were very few bugs - didn't see a single mosquito.

The kayak tour was very convenient to find from where we are staying and well organized. Our guide was great and we learned some new facts about the area during the tour. One downside- the river was very muddy and smelled like sulfur, but that was mother nature’s doing!

It was ok. The guide didn’t really explain anything in the forest. It was overall just ok, I didn’t feel like we got a lot out of that experience

Riley was great, very patience with us, as it was our first time trying kayaking. It was just long enough of a trip to enjoy without my arms falling off, lol. We really enjoy the experience.

I had a really fun time with this kayak tour. It didn’t quite last til 12:00 like it says, but nonetheless it was fun. The tour guide, Donnie, was very nice, well-mannered, and helpful with teaching how to do different strokes with the paddle.

Great experience. The water was a little dirty and you should be aware of mosquitoes. Great experience for 30-40 minutes

Review: The scenery was beautiful. Our guide, Riley, made it all worthwhile with her knowledge and relaxed personality. Enjoyed her immensely. Things to keep in mind: The boats are dirty and pretty uncomfortable … but they float 😂 which is the most important part. Late July and no wind was super hot. Tiring in the heat if you’re not a kayaker and take a single - a double will be easier for you. Have fun 😀.
