    Wonderful way to spend an afternoon in this lovely environment! We wanted Tobaken a day away from the beach (yes, this is possible when it’s to hot 😉😅) We wanted to slow down and enjoy nature so we decided to rent a boot and paddle. They offer one to four tours that last anywhere between 1-4 hours. Don’t worry. You can’t get lost. They lovingly marked all the routes in various colors. Everything here is done with a loving eye for detail! What a great place. And afterwards, they had nice drinks and homemade cookies 🍪 😋😎🛶. What a lovely place 👏👏👏

    A great place for a family canoe / kayak. Felt like entering a mangrove swamp, with lots of overhanging branches, overgrown tributories with twists and turns in the route, so you felt you were in the middle of nowhere. Well signposted with the various routes and times they would take. Very different to the equally lovely kayak adventures we've had in France on quicker flowing rivers where even if you didn't paddle you'd eventually reach your destination.

    Amazing visit! Calm and relaxing, even surreal to be immersed in so much green :) The guide is friendly and has plenty of details regarding the history of this unique man made ecosystem. Highly recommended!

    Just a lovely way to spend a few hours paddling along in the broken sunlight, spotting the wildlife along the way. Nice spot for a drink and food on the same site as well. Been twice and I’ll go...

  • "Excellent!"

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by Oggieh (Boroughbridge, United Kingdom) on 04/07/2018

    Lovely couple of hours paddling around in the sun, but with enough shade to keep it comfortable, followed by a cold beer. 2 hrs is fine.
