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.

A relaxing experience and I learned some things... - I was lucky enough to do a Cultural Tour with guide Nathan Lygon before he takes a break. It was a lovely experience added to the beauty, birdlife and environment of the Pambula River itself. It was relaxing and I learned some very interesting things about First Nations' Culture in this area.

Relaxing Kayak Experience and Wonderful Guides! - The kayaking was very calm, peaceful and the waters were so insanely clear! My husband and I really enjoyed it. We had 2 excellent guides, David and Keri, and both were attentive, knowledgable and fun! You could see their passion about the area and their work, showing through their guiding. We learned about oysters, different birds in the area, and had a lovely yummy snack on the beach. David had some pretty epic stories, and Keri was so easy to talk to. She alleviated my fear of snakes in the area, as well as helped me identify birds from my poor attempts to mimic their calls :-) . Our group was small and had a great dynamic. Thank you to both guides for the wonderful trip! Jess was equally responsive and helpful in answering questions. She helped when we had a minor hiccup in scheduling and was a pleasure to work with too. We would definitely recommend this tour and company. I found the kayaking was not strenuous at all, and likely many different types of individuals/abilities would be able to participate and enjoy it. Thanks again! :-)
