Nettes Abenteuer

Wirklich ein sehr nettes Team, das einen bei diesem Abenteuer begleitet. Das Rafting selbst dauert nicht sehr lange, dafür war der große Wasserfall umso beeindruckender.

Bewertung

Das Raften war echt gut , leider war unser Teamleader echt gemein und hat letztendlich mich sehr runter gemacht weil ich einige Englische Begriffe nicht sofort verstanden habe( er hat zudem auch noch leise geredet!). Dadurch hat er mir den Spaß echt genommen. Wäre es ein anderer Teamleader gewesen, hätte es mir wahrscheinlich mehr Spaß gemacht, denn das Raften und die Natur war echt beeindruckend. Leider hatten sie auch keine Duschen, was als Backpacker sehr ungünstig war, da man erst eine Dusche suchen muss….

Super Tour und schöne Landschaft

Vom Abholen bis zum Zurückbringen hat alles einwandfrei geklappt. Die Guides waren super. Natürlich gabs eine Einweisung zum Raften an sich, aber es wurde auch zum Fluß und zur Gegend selbst etwas erzählt. Fand ich persönlich sehr schön. Tour ist vom Anfänger bis zum Erfahrenen geeignet.

Rafting

If you want to just sit in a boat and have no fun.. then go with this company as it's the most boring company I've been with, rafting this part of the falls. No fairness on switching positions in the boat like other companies and a completely rude tour guide. This was my 3rd time rafting down these falls and I know what to expect.. A amazing time! BUT this company was not amazing. My partner and I never got to sit in the front and be pushed into the water, we never swapped positions, we weren't allowed to go for a swim and many other things wrong with this company compared to other companies. I recommend not sitting in the middle or the back of the boat if you go with this company as you will not get the full experience.. You will basically sit In a raft and stay completely dry 99% of the time. The only time you will get splashed is going down the main waterfall. Go with a different company.
