We had the best fun on the rafting tour. Our guide was so much fun and he really made this trip to one of our highlights of the vacation.

The instructors were really good. It was a shame that the water level was low; as a result, there wasn't much speed. We also thought it was a pity that we couldn't swim for a bit. Otherwise, it was a fun morning. Friendly staff.
