Between the paddling and excitement, observe the native blue duck, the mystical ancient beech forest, the fantails and swallows flitting for surface insects. Listen to the chortling of a veritable potpourri of birds above the music of rushing water. See stealthy trout dart for cover as you pass. This is the exhilarating, total experience we offer.
