“Highlight of my trip!! Our raft guide greeted us cheerfully, comfortably seated us on the raft with an umbrella for pending rain. Our guide pointed out many features and provided explanations about birds, fish, plants, and trees along the river. Our only regret is we did not have adequate tip money with us for our personable hardworking guide. I don’t often write reviews. I hope this reaches him as he deserved much for making this our trip highlight.” - Reviewed on 2025-03-01
