I had an absolutely amazing time and loved every minute of it.... This was my very first rafting experience, and it couldn't have been better. The whole team and all the raft guides were fantastic, but I have to give a special shoutout to our guide, Anton, he is simply the best. If he happens to be your guide, you're really lucky! He is so much fun, highly interactive, and incredibly engaging.... As a beginner, I really appreciated that his communication and instructions were crystal clear, which made me feel totally safe and comfortable. I highly recommend this to anyone... For English speakers, you'll be happy to know his English is fluent and just like a native speaker's, so following directions is effortless and makes you feel totally safe. I highly recommend this to anyone!
