Great trip down the river. Very beautiful location. Jade was wonderful, with lots of commentary about the history of the area and Hobbit filming. Would definitely do this trip again.
Jade was fabulous. Yes it was raining, but it just made the experience all that more real. Jade was knowledgeable of the area and I appreciated the interesting and fun facts she shared.nThis was a definitely a highlight to our honeymoon, and thank you Jade for making this trip that more memorable. Highly recommend!
There were a few details about my experience that were not as advertised. Firstly, sunscreen and bug spray were NOT provided, which is in direct opposition to what the website said -and how I planned my day. The biting flies were intense - WEAR PANTS AND A LONG SLEEVE SHIRT.nnI thought that we were going on a 4 hour excursion as the site implies but we were back before 5pm, spending less than 2 hours on the water. I specifically booked this tour because it was 4 hours long, and even if you count safety briefing and travel time it was still less than three, less than two on the water.nnThe big highlight of this paddle is that you are crossing through some of the scenery that was filmed in the Hobbit, which was pointed out to us. However, the laminated photos that we were provided for context for these shots were in such low image quality that it was actually very hard to see what we were being shown. It looked like someone had texted an old JPEG and then photocopied it seven times, it was mostly just pixels. I was surprised, considering that that is the highlight of this tour, that the quality of the images was so low.nnI do want to shout out to my host, as she was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, and a wellspring of knowledge about the local area and wildlife. She did make us all feel quite safe and relaxed. I would say, however, that she was the only saving grace of the whole tour. I wouldn't recommend this tour otherwise.
Brilliant kayak with Jade. We loved the information provided about the area and the filming.nnBeautiful river, and the private entry meant the first few hours we were the only group on the water and had it all to ourselves.nnThank you!
I highly recommend this place... Jade was an absolutely amazing guide. She explained everything so well and even showed us a lovely mini moon pool and allowed us to be silly and have fun
