She was fun, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and ecosystem. Her passion for the area was obvious in everything she shared, and she did a wonderful job educating us while keeping the tour engaging and relaxed. Kate was patient with us and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe on the water. Seeing dolphins in their natural habitat while paddleboarding through the beautiful Folly River was an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area and would gladly book another tour with Sup Safaris in the future!

They made sure I went the right direction on the water based of the current tide situation so I had an enjoyable paddle. I saw egrets, both snowy and normal (ask them the difference), pelicans fishing, little crabs on the shores, and a dolphin passing through on my way back. Highly recommend. I would come back here on my next vacation through.

It was the perfect day to be out on the water. There was a current heading out so it made it a nice arm workout. On the way back, it was almost like a lazy river as it brought us back. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and the area was beautiful and filled with so many amazing birds.

Real, wild, "Flipper's distant cousins" kind of dolphins, just cruising by like we were part of the pod. The guides were awesome--laid-back but knew their stuff, and they didn't rush us. Gave us room to soak it all in (and yell "HOLY HELL, DOLPHINS!" a few times). The water was calm, the views were killer, and the whole trip felt like something out of a Nat Geo special--minus the narrator and plus a few bad paddle jokes. If you're even thinking about it, do it. This isn't just kayaking--it's a front-row seat to the wild. And yeah, it was badass.

Coming prepared is important. Besides a bathing suit, it would be wise to have a long-sleeve shirt…read moreand hat (or a huge tub of sunscreen), some sort of water shoes, and some way of protecting your devices. I got a watertight bag for my phone. They say they'll store your keys, but they didn't remind me and in my haste to hit the water I somehow floated the entire distance with my super expensive electronic car key in my pocket, which neither fell out nor was any the worse for wear, miraculously. You have to pay to get into the state park where this endeavor begins, which in total brings the cost to around $40 a head or so. Which for me was not bad given the experience. I received help getting the tube down to the water and they had some watercraft at the end to gently bump me to shore. They say floating down the river takes two hours; it doesn't seem that long a distance but it is a slow-moving river and my trip took around two and a half hours in the water. Obviously, you can slow yourself down or speed yourself up. The shores of the river were verdant, with frequent houses and docks and a lot of signs saying to stay off of various people's private property (fair enough), but I still managed to find a bit of beach for a brief respite, and the trip ends at a sandbar. Various powered watercraft whizzed by, but they mostly just caused some pleasant waves. Conditions will vary, but I found the water immensely pleasant on a summer day, and on the water I didn't have a huge mosquito problem (I did apply repellent). The depth was such that during much of the trip I was actually floating and could not touch the bottom, but there were certainly places where you could. The inquiring mind wonders whether alligators, snakes, bull sharks, or some other river monster is hiding beneath the murky water, but I observed no such creatures (as a one-time Australian, there's no way I'd get into an Australian river where I couldn't see what was around me). The bottom was mostly sandy, but did occasionally have branches and things, and water shoes do help. I underestimated how much time my legs would spend out of the water and did not apply sunscreen to them; I wish I'd either done that or just carried sunscreen in some container. The end area had brightly colored trip employees to shepherd you in using watercraft, as well as a volleyball net and picnic area for those so inclined. A bus brings you in short order back to where you started. A trip through the surrounding countryside suggests a pastoral, relatively natural environment, and driving through it I always wished there were more tourist opportunities to experience this unique landscape and dodge the heat. Turns out, this is the place.

He was very knowledgeable about the marine life and pointed out all kinds of things that were interesting. Glad we did 8 am before it got too hot. It was easy to paddle at low tide and a tiny bit more challenging as the water raised throughout the morning. The office answered phones when I called and did billing and waivers in advance so it was pretty seamless.

Had so much fun here! I came for a bachelorette party with friends last weekend…read more Drew was very helpful in calling/texting us the location to be picked up. He provided a cart to put our alcohol in and transport it down the dock. Our 3 friends were running late, so the crew picked them up on a tender and brought them to the boat when they arrived. Very nice of them! Drew, Casey and the rest of the crew were very friendly and didn't mind our groups choice in music (ha). We ran out of alcohol half way through our 4 hour timeframe, so the crew actually offered to run to shore and purchase more for us and we could pay them back. They were truly lifesavers!! The tiki hut is sooo much fun and the big float was great. I recommend for sure!!!

I'm not sure this is actually a reputable company. I have tried for five days straight to schedule…read moretwo fly boarding sessions I won at a silent charity auction. I have left voicemails and texted with no reply. I saw they have an active Instagram account that they have posted pics on all week. So I posted my request on there (see pic). Instead of reaching out to me to help me schedule, they deleted my comment. Not professional at all and not good for business. If you donate a good or service for a silent auction for charity, please know that the bidder may pay full or more than face value for the item as I did. While I love giving money to charity, I was also incentivized by the opportunity to fly board for the first time. I could certainly book a session online with a credit card but there is no mechanism for this company to follow through on providing a donated service. And I don't have the time to keep calling and leaving voicemails. I am sure this was a tax write off for this company so I will be sure to report this back to the charity. Very disappointed and I truly hope this company is not doing this on a routine basis.

The music was phenomenal. No one was put off by all of the thunderstorms that raged just hours before and threatened to return.

The cable park looks pretty janky, maybe not very well attended. There appears to be a fun floating inflatable/bouncy obstacle course, but no one was ever there to operate it. Highly recommend coming here for a swim, disc golf, and a picnic.
