Traveller reviews
Our raft guide was funny and kept shouting encouragement when we got stuck on rocks.
This tour feels more adventurous than standard rafting because of the canyon viewpoint.
This is a long, rough, and very scenic day, so it may not suit people who want comfort. The roads were bumpy and the lunch was ordinary, but the canyon views were incredible. I liked that the tour mixed photo stops with rafting instead of only sitting on a bus. Wear shoes that can handle dust and water.
A long but satisfying day. We used every towel we brought.
We booked for the canyon photos, but the rafting ended up being just as fun. The guide in our raft kept everyone laughing and gave clear instructions when the river got faster. The canyon viewpoint made the whole tour feel different from a standard rafting day. It was one of the best adventure trips we did.
If you like big landscapes, book this instead of only rafting.
