신나는 경험
북미에서 예약한 액티비티중에서 가장 최고였습니다 하루전날 급하게 결정하고 예약한건데 정말 너무 재밌었어요 그냥 보트타고 계곡 내려가나보다 라고생각했는데 아니었어요 정말 최고! 단 당연히 구명조끼는 착용하고 진행되지만 수영못하시는분은 아마 좀 힘드실것같아요 물에 대해 두려움이 없는 사람이라면 저만큼 충분히 다들 즐길수있을거예요 완전 강력 추천합니다

Unforgettable Experience
The river was wild and fun. It was very well organized. I felt safe the whole time. Lucas as our guide was wonderful - so much fun!

Thanks for the review, Chris! We're stoked to hear you enjoyed the wildness and playfulness of the river as much as we do. See you next time!

Kaituna River Rafting
Amazing experience! We pushed ourselves outside our comfort zone and didn't regret it. The guides are fun, knowledgeable and friendly and ensure everyone feels safe. A definite highlight of our trip! A few of us aren't super confident on the water but our guide Eames made us feel really safe. You won't regret doing this!

래프팅을 결정하면서 제일 걱정했던것이 자연이라는 예측불허의 공간에서 시행되는 것이라 위험하면 어떨까에 대해서 고민을 많이 했는데, 안전합니다. 그리고 재밌습니다. 카약을 탄 사람이 안전을 확인하면서 같이 내려가고, 먼저간 배에서 다음배가 안전한지 확인 후 계속 출발하고 하는 형태라서 적절한 연령대라면 안심하시고 즐기셔도 될 것 같습니다.
