Nev was wonderful! It ended up just being the two of us for this experience and it was just amazing! First time paddle boarders and nev was so helpful. He really knew what he was doing and did everything to ensure the experience was nothing short of phenomenal! The glow worms were incredible to see!

We did the 5pm tour. Matt took us out and shared lots of info which was awesome. Seriously worth it for everyone. I’m new to SUP, Matt helped me stand up and just made it easy. Well equipped and very helpful. Pick up was super easy. We are really grateful for this experience Cheers!

女一人旅だったので、17時からのツアーは夜も更けているので少し心配でしたが、事前に電話で連絡をもらい、時間と場所を丁寧に説明していただいたので、安心して参加できました。ツアー担当のトムさんも、とても優しく信頼できる方でした。悪天候のためカヤックのみでしたが、参加して本当に良かったです。グローワァームのみだけでなく、夜の星空が本当に素敵でした。
