"It was a great experience with amazing views in the canyon. It is suitable for different level of excitement, because it is possible to go around the obstacles. It is also great on a rainy day, because you are wet anyway and the neopren keeps you warm. All the people were very friendly. "
"We did the aquatic hike as a two-family and had a great time. The activity, the setting, and the guide were all great. The activity is suitable for children as young as 7 and is just as fun for adults. Thanks again to Flo, who was kind and very nice with the children."
