Decided to give Mahanaim Adventures a try after finding a Groupon for a "Sunset Kayaking Trip with…read morea Picnic Dinner for Two." Similar to other kayak tours I've done, we were fitted with PFDs and given a basic tutorial on how to paddle/ maneuver in the kayaks. The owner/guide Don was very knowledgable and did a great job making sure that the group moved together and that we were safe at all times. After kayaking around the river we stopped off for a picnic dinner on Shark Tooth Island. It was fun hunting for fossilized shark teeth and other shells. My two criticisms of the tour were: 1) There wasn't much to see. We kayaked a little way down the river and then turned down a grassy side channel. Besides a couple of herons in trees and some alligator tracks there was not much scenery and it became boring after a little while. 2) The food options for dinner were a little underwhelming. They had some store bought sandwich thins/wraps and deli cold cuts for dinner. Without the Groupon the price of the 3 hour tour is $150/per person. I didn't feel that this tour was much of an "adventure" and the food definitely left something to be desired.

Looking for something different to do in the area, we came across Topsail Wine Experience. We booked a private wine tasting at our vacation rental. She comes to your residence, how easy is that?! We chose the 'A Night in Tuscany' theme. Heidi worked with our budget to find the best range of delicious wines and we had an exciting evening tasting through selections we had never tried before. The tasting was interactive and fun and we all walked away having learned something new! Service overall was 5 stars. Heidi was personable, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about wine. Her passion and personality combined with expertise made the evening an unforgettable highlight of our vacation.
