We did the 3mile canoe trip with 2 canoes with 2 people each. We had fun racing each other and seeing the turtles sunbathing. The service to take you down was nice!

Ditched the other canoe company and came to this one instead. They were very accommodating to our group and even recommended a local lunch spot for after that was phenomenal. Will be back next season for sure
