Traveller reviews
I was nervous because I had never rafted before, but the safety briefing was clear and the guide watched everyone carefully. We got soaked almost immediately, which broke the tension and made everyone laugh. The route was long enough to feel like a proper rafting trip. I finished tired, cold, and very proud of myself.
Lunch after the rafting tasted great because everyone was starving. Simple but satisfying.
The guide taught us how to paddle together before the first rapid, which made the boat feel like a team.
Beautiful canyon views between the rapids. I didn't expect the scenery to be that good.
The rafting was better than I expected for such a reasonable price. Our guide taught us how to paddle together before the first rapid, and by the end our boat felt like a little team. The canyon scenery between rapids was beautiful and gave everyone a chance to breathe. Lunch was simple, but after the river it tasted great.
Our boat had mixed ages and the guide made everyone feel included.
