"A very fun activity with experienced and professional guide Hocine. During the trek, you have the choice to jump from 1.5m to 6m. Our daughter found it exciting, having to swim that little bit or slide a bit; it was nice that there was also the option not to jump. Hocine prepares every new step of the route extensively, explaining what to expect, what to do (and what not to do), and during the somewhat fast currents (we chose the ‘average’ one), he took our 11-year-old son with him. An incredibly cool experience with rapids and bizarrely beautiful nature. What is stated on the website is not an exaggeration; on the calmer sections, lie back on your back and admire the beauty of nature, the high cliffs, and the vultures in the blue sky. By the way, you could park your car on their premises where someone from the organization is always present. We could leave our phones there and hand in the car key at the counter. No lockers available. We had one phone in a waterproof pouch during the trek, but the guides also take photos that are shared afterwards (for free). Oh yes, plenty of protection thanks to the good equipment we were given (suit/jacket/helmet). We would do it again in a heartbeat! 💚"
