Fun experience made all the better by an excellent guide - A wonderful afternoon on the river. Our guide/pilot Hazel was fantastic - really friendly, engaging and skilled; she really made sure that we had a fun time. We were a group of seven of mixed abilities and all of us enjoyed the rafting. Great to cool off at the end with a quick swim! Good equipment, procedures, briefing and transport. Highly recommended.

Amazing activity to do with a big group of friends! - The rafting was a great activity to do with a large group of 10 people, that lasted around 1/2 of being on the water. Our instructor Quinn made the experience even more enjoyable; would definitely recommend.

Fantastic river trip!! A shout out to Richard, our guide - YOU ROCK! - The river trip was AMAZING! Our guide, Richard, was fantastic! He had a great personality; he was funny and very knowledgeable of the river and its history. Most importantly, he made sure all SAFETY procedures were introduced to ensure everyone was comfortable, including the young children on the trip. I would highly recommend this adventure and would do it again in a heartbeat!!! Oh, and we jumped in the river (a cool 42 degrees) at the end!!! Thank you from Houston, TX.
