Disrespectful behaviour by staff

“We experienced unprofessional and discriminatory behaviour from a staff member named Jack who was our guide during our first rafting trip. He was rude, frequently raised his voice at us, and made negative remarks directed at our group, while treating white customers more favourably. His conduct made the experience uncomfortable and disappointing.”

Time

It was a great fun. If it was more longer distance of rafting it would be much better.
