Captain Scotty was great. He had everything ready for us when we arrived. The boards are good quality epoxy boards not the inflatable type. Snorkel equipment was good too. Scotty went over techniques to free dive to the deepest areas of the river. Also very knowledgeable about the sea life in the river. I’m looking forward to booking more trips with Waters edge tours.
Beautiful sunset guided paddle on the Rainbow River. Follow Water’s Edge advice - they know when and where to go to make the most out of this amazing natural area. Truly exceeded my expectations. We are notices on paddle boards and they were so patient and kind. From 10 to 45 years old everyone is our group had the experience of a lifetime Highly recommended!
