Highly recommended. Great rapids. - Very fun day on the water. The guide is knowledgeable and fun. Good equipment and I felt safe. A shorter tour if you don’t have an entire day but the rapids are in quick succession and great.

It was a fantastic trip! - We had an amazing experience with this tour operator. The pickup was very efficient. The rafting guide was really great! We had to walk a stretch of the river because it was way too scary. They dropped us off quite close to our hotel. All in all it was a great day!!!
