This place has quickly become my favorite spot for kayaking. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The river isn’t very large, but it’s clean and offers plenty of shade along the way. It felt so peaceful — perfect for enjoying a picnic right on the boat!

We had a great time here. This area is so beautiful. The river is far enough from the road and there is no noise from cars. Lots of birds and turtles. We will definitely come here again.

Found out about this company scrolling thru groupon. Booked a couple days in advance for a 10am start time, it was the best time to go. We were the only ones out there and it was so quiet and awesome to see all the wildlife. Staff were super friendly and very helpful! Definitely going back!
