An educational and enjoyable experience. The guides were knowledgeable about the history of the area and some of the indigenous culture and were more than willing to answer any questions. I particularity enjoyed sampling some of the bush tucker, and that local products were used where possible. Lots of fresh foods offered which made delicious camping food.😊😊
It was a great weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would happily recommend it to others. The guides were great and everything went really well. The location was amazing too.
An absolutely brilliant overnight trip! A lovely group of women and we all had fun. Our guides were very knowledgeable and kept us entertained the whole time. Would highly recommend as a first time kayaker.
What a great weekend paddling the Coorong with an amazing group of women - had a ball!
I thoroughly enjoyed the hike with an amazing group of women.
Another awesome experience, still cannnot belive we took on that steep decent, scary and cool at the same time.
