Super nice, and he explain how everything works. Would go again
Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.
Awesome experience! They helped us out with a couple of last-minute paddleboard rentals. All the staff were super helpful and flexible, and the equipment was perfect. Highly recommend.
My wife and went tubing with Flow Adventures. Honestly it was a thoroughly awesome adventure with the friendliest and most competent people I’ve ever met. Big shoutout to John who, when my wife and I got separated, he made sure that we were both safe and sound. Kudos to Flow Adventure!
