Great gold panning experience! - Mike was a great guide through the gold panning experience! He was very patient and knowledgeable (down to the exact science). He has a lot of stories to share, it was a very smooth and pleasant experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a different outdoor experience! He also provided stools, water shoes, and towels to dry off which was a very nice touch. Would recommend wearing shorts as we were anywhere between ankle and knee deep in the water.

Excellent 👍 - It's been an amazing experience! Something very special - diving into the past and merging with nature. The guide is educated, experienced, kind, helpful, patient, and also very engaging personality. Not only us, adults, had a lot of fun, but our 4yo son enjoyed the tour as well playing with rocks and water. It's absolutely unique activity which worth every $. Thank you!

A fun morning among friends, doing something different than the usual wine tasting! - First off... we found gold!! We were also lucky weather wise so spending a couple hours n the water was refreshing . Our guide was well equipped and really passionate , I highly recommend this as a friend or family activity.

Theres a real prospect of finding GOLD! - Great value for money. Mike is obviously a pro and best at what he does. Full knowledge and interesting facts as well as a brilliant teacher of how to pan for gold. I could have stayed there for another 2 hours! Ladies- be prepared to chip those freshly manicured nails!!
