Amazing experience

It was such a great time. I was waiting for this so long and It didn't dissapoint me. The scenery, the river are so amazing. We had lots of fun during the rafting. Our guide (Drax) was super! He was so funny, I loved his jokes. But also he was very skilled and you could feel safe the entire time. I can say honestly It was one of the best experience in my life! Thank you for that.
