Peaceful, relaxed day on the lake

Sydney was a great guide, taking photos and giving nice information about the land and its formation. Was a calm day on the lake so very peaceful journey, I love kayaking so could have gone for much longer! (not a rigourous kayak at all so if looking for something more physical, would not expect this to be it). The little walk was nice to see the friendly birds and learn about the various conservation efforts in place to help the native birds and help solve the problems of the invaise species.
Easy, relaxing and beautiful

The kayaks were stable and easy to use. Our guide, Sydney, was friendly, informative and efficient with setup. The hike was really nice, and I really appreciated the hot coffee during our rest. The eels were really cool too!
Great experience! Better than doing it on your own.

Our tour guide Dillon "Pickles" went above and beyond to share information about flora, fauna, history, and the area. He was a wealth of information and made it a lot of fun.
Fun experience
