Traveller reviews
Good for first-timers. I was nervous before rafting and ended up loving it.
I wish we had known in advance that river shoes would be useful, because renting them on site added a small extra cost. Other than that, the day was very well run. The rafting guide helped nervous people and kept joking with the confident ones. The zipline platform had a short wait, but my daughter loved it.
The canyon was beautiful and the guide knew exactly when to make jokes and when to give instructions.
The zipline is quick, but it makes the day feel more complete.
This was a great choice for our group because not everyone wanted the full quad or buggy package. Rafting gave us the big activity, while the zipline made the day feel a bit different from a standard river trip. The lunch break came at the right time, and the staff were good at moving groups along. We would do it again.
The changing rooms were basic, so keep expectations realistic. The activities were great.
