Sunset Paddleboard - Samantha was great! - This was a great experience. Samantha was our guide. She gave an excellent prep with clear directions and a few tips for getting better movement. We saw dolphins and had a beak to play in the pluff mud and swim a little. Samantha gave great instructions on getting back and kept an eye out to ensure that no one was struggling or left behind. Her knowledge of the area was great and we really enjoyed our sunset tour with her. I don’t think it would have been as enjoyable in the heat of the day, but the sunset was beautiful.

Group of 2 for the stand up paddle board - We did a public paddle board experience led by Sebastian. It ended up being a private tour with Sebastian helping my girlfriend and I as first time paddle boarders. It was a great day and we even got to see some dolphins close up! Anyone looking for a relaxing but fun day on the water check it out!

Highly recommend - Sam and Lindsey were the perfect guides. They were knowledgeable and supportive and clearly love their jobs. It was great to be able to bring water that they carried so you had no worries on the board. They took numerous pics too so no phones needed. The tour was peaceful and I felt like we had the river to ourselves. Even though we were in a group, it seemed that all of us were in awe of the surroundings and all were just enjoying nature. Seeing a dolphin jump in front of us was the highlight. I would do this again and highly recommend it for any age. The only complaint I have is that 90 minutes wasn't enough!

Beware of Parking Rules - Quite a lovely little beach town, but the parking situation is rough. There are several odd rules. We parked on a side road and got a ticket for $60 within 15 minutes.
