A Six‑Mile Float Tailored to Your Stay
This is a scenic, roughly 6‑mile float that takes about 3–5 hours, arranged around your lodging so you can relax on the water while the operator handles pick‑up and finish‑of‑trip logistics.

An Easy, Relaxed Afternoon on the Water
With the shuttle service and staff support, the trip emphasizes a relaxed float back to your rental rather than a logistical challenge—an experience meant to be taken at leisure over several hours.
