  Wonderful place to rent an electric boat. Any one can drive it, even kids! You will also find kanoas to explore the fantastic landscape surrounding this area

  Dropped off on the wrong end of river - we had to fight our way back against the current for nearly 2,5 hours ... bootcamp but *no* family event! Today, we rented two canoes to take a nice 6 km / 1,5 hours total canoe trip with our two sons 12 and 15 years old. After a 15 min drive to the drop off in an old van without any safety belt except for the driver (someone should tell him that belting himself is pointless if he has 8 unfastended passengers going ballistic through the car in a crash) we took off and were told to go upstream to reach the base. After an hour (when we should have reached the base) and the current getting stronger we realised checking google maps that we did barely made half the route. And the current was strong enough that once you tried to rest, you were more or less immediately pulled back downriver… I would myself consider quite fit doing regular trainings - but going 2,5 hours without a chance to rest (or maybe even enjoy the view) in a sport we were not trained in was definetely not something we enjoyed! When we finally reached the base, they apologised for having made a mistake in their tide calendar - though obviously it did not occur to them, that they could take one of their boates to check where everyone of the group was, once this group was massively overdue to come back. And as an unintended consequence of the longer than antipated trip on the river my wife and two sons got themselfes a really bad sun burn on their legs, which keeps me awake at night to change the wet towels to cool their burns and to write one of my very few reviews. So my advice for you If you book a ride you should make sure to ask them - if they have double checked to get you to the right drop off - if there are any means that you can abort the trip and how they are going to retrieve you, should you find yourself in a position where you might be unable to make it back. And you should of course not mind or being afraid being carried as unsecured (possibly ballistic) cargo.

  Excellent! We arrived 30 minutes late, we had booked online so our only fault if not on time! And even without asking; We are offered to still enjoy the entire hour, frankly very professional. Second very satisfying experience, there will be others. I'm signing up for a longer route because the site is also very interesting and I highly recommend it. Thank you and see you soon.
