We had a great twilight paddle along the river and saw the city from a different perspective. Lucas was our instructor and he was very attentive, and even let me speak French with him! Thank you Lucas.

Summary:
I took my mum for Mother’s Day and it was the best experience ever! The instructor was great adapting the pace for all levels of fitness of the group which was nice and small. Lots of friendly discussions were had while looking at the night lights as the sun sets over our beautiful city. On completion they had a wonderful Mexican theme table set up with our cocktails and burritos ready to go! Highly recommend for all ages.
