Great way to spend a morning - We had a fantastic morning out on Pambula river with Kerrie. The area is stunning. Kerrie gave us some great tips on kayak technique and was very friendly and knowledgeable. Morning tea was a welcome stop for a swim and some delicious brownies. The meet and return point had clean public loos, lots of parking and a lovely cafe at the oyster farm. Our small group stayed to have lunch there after kayaking. We spotted loads of wildlife! A lovely way to spend a morning.

We loved it! - The tour was amazing, we saw a lot of birds and a little sting ray. We were a very small group, this was lovley, we had nice conversations. Mornig tea and brownies were served at half of the way on a small sandy beach. There we had the chance for a little swim, but we didn't do that, because it was a little bit windy/rainy this day. We would do the tour again if we are coming back maybe one day! After the tour we ate some oysters, because the were sold at the beach we started and ended our tour, they tasted great!!

Guides are very knowledgeable, River is beautiful - The event was awesome. The operators were very helpful from the moment they picked us up at the cruise ship terminal, throughout the kayaking experience, and the return to the ship. The kayaks were in excellent condition and ideal for the river. The guides were very knowledgeable and constantly checked on our progress to ensure nobody was left behind. The photos is their web site reflect the true views - everything looked as (or better) than the photos.

Enjoyable kayaking on the Pambula River for a hit of nature and a bit of fun exercise! - Great way to explore the Pambula River kayaking with about 12 others, and enjoyed the experience of nature you get paddling along quietly. Swim at the halfway point was refreshing, such clear water that day. Our guides that day were good with some helpful tips to improve people's kayaking technique.
