“Amazing scenery and impressive driving skills on the way down to the river! Overall, as an activity it was a bit slow but all of the guides were fun and you had time to look around. First drop was unreal!”

“Whitewater rafting was the highlight of our trip. Casey, our guide, was awesome and super infromative, telling us all sorts of things he'd learned through his 25 years in the job. He was super funny as well! The whole team was obviously really experienced and kept us safe the whole time. The wetsuits were comfortable and very practical. Overall, it was just awesome!”

“I was a bit nervous because I had never been rafting before but the team are used to working with first timers (most of our group). Had a great time, great experience all around.”
