Great weather, great group, wonderful guides and organisation on the weekend, and lots of laughs...not to mention the food, which was fantastic.
Lovely weekend away with a great bunch of women, new skills learnt, nutritious meals and a nice area to explore close to Perth.
Enjoyed the serenity of the week end. Learning techniques, good company and very well organised
What a great weekend. It was great fun to meet and get to know a really friendly group of women. Being out on the water was so peaceful and a great way to switch off from work. The instructor and the AW guide were both fantastic. I thoroughly recommend this trip.
