REAL STORIES FROM REAL ADVENTURERS
We did the fabulous 3-hour kayak at Lake Mapourika as family (4 people, 2 kids aged 14 and 10). It was a great morning, very well-run with a great guide who was extremely knowledgeable about the area. The views of the mountains were spectacular. Paddling up the creek across the other side of the lake was fun and we saw several white herons up close. A very chilled way to spend a morning and see more of the area.

My husband and I loved the trip. The guides were very accommodating and knowledgeable. Our group consisted of families with kids and couples with varying levels of experience and we all had a great time. We would highly recommend this company and this tour.

It was a an excellent outing. Being a young family we were looking for something fun and safe. Hayley was excellent and made our first kayaking trip just that. We would highly recommend this tour. The lake as calm and the views were stunning. Kids loved the echo point. Hayley is an excellent photographer as well and we were really happy to receive the photos free of cost as well. Great experience all in all.
