"I've been many glorious places in the world and believe the scenery on our canoe ride today stacks up with or exceeds the beauty of them all - beyond beautiful - spectacular!"

"Absolutely fantastic afternoon kayaking. Glad we waited until here to go kayaking - the scenery up the gorge was breathtaking and serene. We laughed all the way - especially coming down the 'rapids'. Thanks for an amazing afternoon followed by wonderful coffee."
