A fun way to enjoy the city.

Beautiful way to see the city from a different perspective!

This is a really enjoyable experience, our guide was super friendly, very relaxed and kept me updated on the day. It’s was beautiful to see the city from a different perspective. There were plenty of birds out, which made for some great pics. No kayaking experience needed, the equipment was of good quality and comfortable. Learnt some interesting facts, would have loved more… bit of a history geek, was nice to just sit back and take in the vista!

Thank you so much for your awesome review, we will try and provide you with some more facts next time :)

Good way to spend an afternoon!

What a great way to spend an afternoon. Torrens and Adelaide is just beautiful and once past the manicured bit who would even think you’re in a populated area! Lots of wildlife. Luke, our guide was fab, friendly and informative. Well worth the money spent and definitely do it again!
