HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!
I’ve already recommended this to my friends and family! I had such an amazing experience with these guys on Saturday 4th April!! My guide was Bal - and he was just awesome, attentive and very informative!!! The other guides were amazing too! Made me feel very safe and comfortable (as I was there Solo) if I had more money and time I would’ve went again!!! 1000000/10! Loved every moment and as I said, I’ve already sent the link to my friends and family lol. Thank you guys so much!!! Perrriiioodtt

Epic adventure!
We had an absolute blast! The team were amazing from the first moment to the very end. Lots of laughs. I loved the opportunities to try swimming a rapid, attending up while paddling a rapid, swimming in the river on the way down etc. I can't wait to bring my cannabis family back and give it another go!
