Our guide Mathieu was lovely and made sure the group were ok and happy. The sunrises was beautiful and it was very peaceful on the water. We were lucky enough to see 3 bottlenose dolphins and as we still had time, we went for a little kayak up the river and saw the beautiful Mountain View's. Perfect way to start the day”
