"Excellent trip, rapids fun but not too challenging. Sam our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Our family with teenagers really enjoyed it."Alec, July 21, 2024
"It was a lot of fun. We did the easy descent as we were unexperienced. It was not too easy and not boring at all. We had an 10 year old with us. Hé wasn’t frightened at all but enjoyed it. And we had a cold swim in the river as well."Bart, July 19, 2024
