Picked out the best equipment for us to use and set us up for success. It was a beautiful day on the water. We saw pelicans hunting, which was super interesting to watch. We saw egrets and seagulls. That was great. The wake from the boats blasting by wasn't as much fun. I enjoyed the paddling, while the hubs kept saying, "now I know exactly why man invented engines for boats." The hubs and I have been considering getting a kayak to enjoy the water and nature. We booked this tour to see if our thoughts matched what we experienced. What we learned today saved us at least $1,200, because although I like Kayaking the hubs hated it. We declared it the best $50 we've spent in a long time!

Beautiful experience. As first timers our family received great instructions and safety tips.read more

Decided to give Mahanaim Adventures a try after finding a Groupon for a "Sunset Kayaking Trip with…read morea Picnic Dinner for Two." Similar to other kayak tours I've done, we were fitted with PFDs and given a basic tutorial on how to paddle/ maneuver in the kayaks. The owner/guide Don was very knowledgable and did a great job making sure that the group moved together and that we were safe at all times. After kayaking around the river we stopped off for a picnic dinner on Shark Tooth Island. It was fun hunting for fossilized shark teeth and other shells. My two criticisms of the tour were: 1) There wasn't much to see. We kayaked a little way down the river and then turned down a grassy side channel. Besides a couple of herons in trees and some alligator tracks there was not much scenery and it became boring after a little while. 2) The food options for dinner were a little underwhelming. They had some store bought sandwich thins/wraps and deli cold cuts for dinner. Without the Groupon the price of the 3 hour tour is $150/per person. I didn't feel that this tour was much of an "adventure" and the food definitely left something to be desired.

I have to admit that I didn't really expect a lot as far as food goes. We have been fortunate to try some amazing places! Austin could go toe to toe with any of them.
