Adult family visit - We booked this through our tour operator in the UK (Trailfinders). We had a good time, it was an early start but worth it. I wish I had bought a coffee at the start point as the morning tea didn't include tea or coffee! The canoeing was a bit more challenging than we expected, it took us about 1h15 to get back! All in all a good tour.

Worth doing, quite beautiful. - The only reason it’s not a 5 is that there is not much in the way of wildlife. Plus a map showing the trip and the points of interest mentioned would be great. You lose perspective out on the water. That said it is very interesting and so peaceful. The “mirror” section that gives you the most beautiful reflections is quite something. Staff are super helpful. Well run operation. A tip- don’t sit in the front seats as there is plastic in front of your view. Back further with open windows is better.
