What the day feels like
What the three hours feel like
The flow is deliberate: board the boat, get a brief orientation, rig kid‑sized gear, then spend the bulk of the three hours with lines in the water. Guides move at a child‑friendly pace, offering hands‑on teaching and the chance to handle and keep a catch at the end of the trip.
