“Our tour guide was overall very friendly, unfortunately, I did not catch his name. We were asked to arrive 40 mins prior to start time, since our tour was at 7:15, we arrived punctually at 6:35.

This activity can be done by anyone with a normal level of fitness. It is a 2h of paddling but there are pauses and the rhythm is adapted to everyone in the group. I would definitely do it again”
