Great - and safe - fun! - First white water rafting experience and we loved it! Be prepared to get wet 😀 The water was lovely and warm when we visited in March, and there were plenty of chances to pause and have a quick swim. The guides were great - they explained what we needed to do, pointed out and gave information about wildlife and vegetation on the way. Safety equipment was provided and we felt safe throughout - but still felt exhilarated.

Fun family experience to repeat - Our first family rafting experience has been a lot of fun. The organization has been perfect and our guide Julio could not be better. He was explaining about the animals and trees we saw along the way, but the best way he has taken us across the river. We have all enjoyed it a lot, especially my children jumping from the top and from the boat. And as an end to what to say about the fruit halfway.....exquisite and in a great environment. Experience to repeat. And a mention also of our driver Mario, who drove like no one else in the rain. Thanks to all the team and especially to Julio for this great afternoon.
