River To Ocean Adventures Reviews

First rule: wear gloves when assembling for the first time, prior to lighting. As this prevents leaving permanent finger print marks when it’s ’burnt In’ and the blueing effect occurs on the Titanium after its first use. The top lid buckled as was expected, mention in reviews by others. However, it’s still super easy to stow it away after use, it flattens out. The little rings used on the door, door vents and the chimney flew dampener get very hot, will probably source or fabricate a wooded or...

We love this Kayak. We had a Perception two person hybrid which was fine when we were younger, but it became too heavy for me (female) to lift. So online I researched and read up on fellow kayakers who recommended the Aqua Marina Steam 312. Went ahead & purchased with trepidation (female) only to find this so easy to paddle. Super lightweight that I can lift it without any worries in one hand. It is super easy to inflate and easier than our old 2 person to get in and out of. The seat is ver...

This kayak is fantastic! We were looking for a sturdy 2-person kayak which could comfortably take the 2 of us plus our golden retriever out on the bay. We also wanted it to be manoeuvrable enough for just me to go out alone. After flirting with the idea of a 3-person canoe, I'm so glad we landed on the 2-person Air-K 440 kayak. It's more than big enough for the 2 of us plus our 25kg dog, and so far has been really sturdy without any damage from her, even though she happily jumps out and in again...

I’ve never had an inflatable before so I was very sceptical about getting one, but having read many reviews I decided to just give it a go and get one .. Well I’m very pleasantly surprised, it handles very well in the water, it’s super comfy, easy to inflate and deflate. And looks very cool ,, so 10 out 10 👍🏻👍🏻 However, the only thing I don’t like is the the skeg, you have to attach it with a tiny plate and pin, I’m super nervous about dropping it and loosing it .. and Not a bad thing, but a s...

This is my first inflatable and it's great! Tracking is not as good as a hardshell but very good nonetheless. It can be a lot of effort to paddle in stronger winds or currents due to it being fairly light but this kayak is at its best in creeks and small rivers which is great for the sunshine coast where I live. It's great that it doesn't have any fabric shell it means it can dry fairly quickly although the "racks" that hold the fins tend to keep water in them for a while. I have to use an elec...

Nice piece of equipment. The oven, like the Winnerwell stove, appears to be well engineered from quality materials. I fitted the oven to my stove and stoked my stove up full of small timber. Within about half an hour, the oven temp shot up to 350c. Maintaining the desired cooking temperature inside the oven is going to require some vigilance, attending to the fire and stove controls. As with any wood fire it's all about maintaining a good amount of hot coals! That skill develops over time with e...

Fantastic inflatable - super stable and so easy to get in an out of. We are older people but we found no issues in enjoying a paddle in this kayak. The seats are comfy, it's easy to use this double kayak for two people or one only (picture) and there is plenty of room to put your things in. The package that we bought came with waterproof bags, and drink holders and two paddles, as well. Great experience and we will be using this kayak for a long time. The business we bought this from (River to O...

I couldn’t find an Aqua Marina Blade windSUP anywhere in the USA, but River To Ocean Adventures in Australia had it in stock. From start to finish, they were fantastic to work with, super helpful, responsive, and they went above and beyond to safely package everything for international shipping. The board arrived in perfect condition all the way across the globe. Truly a 5-star experience! I highly recommend River To Ocean Adventures to anyone looking for top-notch service and hard-to-find gear ...

After much research into inflatable kayaks we finally decided on purchasing the Aqua Glide Chelan 155. Coming from a traditional hardshell construction kayak to an inflatable was not an easy decision to make. It took just 3 working days to be delivered to us in Qld. The compact nature of the Chelan when packed is clear. Unboxing and inflating was easy. I used the Aquaglide Double Action Hand Pump, (although we also purchased a 12V pump). Inflating the seats was easy. More importantly will it pa...

After discovering a very cheap inflatable last year, I did some research and looked for a better quality inflatable kayak. I live in an apartment so for now an inflatable is a great option. I bought the Navarro 130 with the optional deck cover and took it up to Lake Eildon in Victoria. I spent two wonderful days exploring. It was easy to launch and set up and also I was able to just leave it up to dry out out at my camp site. It's a very stable kayak. With the deck cover and size of the kayak...
