TOUR Highlight
Paddle 'N Carve Package - 3 hour combo
During the first part of the Paddle ‘N Carve Combo, our guides share local geological facts & stories of the landscape, while paddling we look into the lagoon & let the river reveal the ancient stone awaiting you to carve into the ultimate keepsake.
We then head to the jungle beach, (where your freedom paddle starts) and provide in detail instructions of river features and a recommended turn around rock 40 minutes up stream. Giving you 20 minutes to return to the launch zone, with your stone.
Back at the Paddle ‘N Carve headquarters the carving action is starting up, starting with stone design and carving equipment introduction. Over the next hour everyone carves and sands their stone through stages to reveal the beauty of the stone. Creating connection between people and the natural world resulting in an epic and memorable experience.
The Paddle ’N Carve package is a one-of-a-kind adventure, split into 3 sections :
* 1 hour of guided Lagoon & River Exploration
* 1 hour of freedom paddling
* 1 hour at the stone carving studio
