Great experience
Professional operation. Efficient, friendly staff. Enjoyed the experience. Not too much paddling. Felt safe at all times. Enjoyed so much, in the end it felt like it was over a bit quick. The photo package at the end did not feel like a ripoff as some of the other rafting experiences I have done.
