We had a wonderful Kayak / paddle along the Bermagui River. Our guide David was friendly, knowledgeable and great with our two kids (one with disability) Morning tea and home made chocolate brownies were delicious and they even catered for GF/DF! The length was perfect and we loved learning about local wildlife. Would happily recommend.
