We had a party of 9, 7 of us parasailing and 2 observers. Our youngest parasailer was 8 but our 4 year old observer will fly next year! I was a little hesitant about how scary parasailing would be for the littles but it was a calm take off and return, the time up there was peaceful. Captain Pierre gives you the option of dipping your feet in (or more!) and their precision is on point! Shipmate Hailey takes all the photos and equips you with the go pro (worth the splurge!) and they capture the greatest moments. These memories will last a lifetime time!

Make sure to bring waters sun screen and bug sprays. Telescope can be helpful on the river to identify the gator( they are camouflage masters on water), lots of time you can see the head, nose and eyes.

The digital waiver process is the simplest experienced so far on our trip. The launch dock and crew were helpful and upbeat. The path to take lead us under a really cool looking covered bridge and another concrete bridge. Lots of turtles and plenty of shade. We went an hour out and then one back to the dock. There was no current and the kayaking was superb - very quiet, Carolina blue sky and plenty of laughs to motivate your strokes. Their is a water hose to rinse off the canal water before you get back in the car which we all took advantage of ( one in our party tipped over ). You pay after the trip is over and for us (five boats and six people - we paid $220. Remember to tip the teenagers

Our captain, Aiden, was an amazing and fun person to take us on our tubing adventure, and even tried to get me knocked off and fall into the water, which was super fun, but he was unsuccessful ! He even taught us a bit about dolphins (by far one of the coolest things I learned from a tour guild that was not a part of the experience). Not only was the tubing experience really fun, but I and my family also had a fun time just being there, and Aiden made 10x better with his fun and positive attitude and enthusiasm that he brought. And I guess the clothes are pretty great too I'm just kidding, they are actually like so comfortable, and I think are a much needed purchase because of the comfort and selection of the colors of the clothing they sell! I will definitely be asking to come back in the future whenever we are in the area! Thank you Nor' Banks for making the out to Duck so fun! -Owen
