"Absolutely recommended! It was an amazing trip and the team... really nice and friendly. We had a lot of fun, enjoyed everything even when the weather was bad and were totally blown away afterwards :-D
Cries out for a repeat!!"Helmut · August 2024
"It was really nice to raft. The river was pretty wild which made the route more adventureous. It is a nice route for families. The guides were really nice and helpful (a special thanks to our guide Kiko). You can use a warm shower and receive all the necessary equipment. The whole organisation works very well. So i would definitly recommend!"
"Book the guide. Having done a few summits back in the states and having a level of comfortability on trails I went back and forth on this. I’m so glad I booked this with a group. The guide gave very helpful guidance on the most challenging parts and really made it much more enjoyable. The exposure is safe but still very real. Knowing someone trained is there to support in case something unexpected happens was worth the cost. "
