The other guide Ivan we would rate 1 star only, I’m glad we weren’t on his raft (this is joke!). Thanks for a great day. Even the drive back the guide was lovely to talk to along the way and they were all so happy to share knowledge of the local area :)”

Very experienced guides (the lead guide Mark has been doing trips on the same river since 2007) who intimately know the rafts as well as every rapid on the way. There were many type 2 and 3 rapids, one 4+. Enough fun for the whole duration of 3 hours on the water. The guides are also happy to have some controlled action e.g. by having the team deliberately paddle upstream into a rapid. If you want to have an "out of boat experience" you will get it. Will be more…”
