Super Fun

Its a whole new world. Families would love this kind of adventure. We hired the pontoon for just half a day, then regretted it. Should have definitely done a full day. They're super amazing people to deal with and dont forget to go on their Bad Fishy Ride !!! We also hired an Esky from them and a BBQ + Fishing Rod too. Stopped in a super cool spot anchored ourselves down and had an awesome BBQ there. Super Experience, cant miss.
