What a rush!
We had a great time on our rafting trip! Our guide was great, the river was beautiful, and we managed to stay upright going down a 7 meter waterfall! What more could you ask for.

Awesome
Well worth the $. Definitely do again. Amazing experience. Just a note though, my Icebreaker T- shirt was missing when I returned which was pretty disappointing - next time I’d leave my stuff in my car.
