River day - I originally booked the trip the week before. However, due to road conditions, it would take longer than expected to arrive, causing the rafting to be shorter. I was given the option to rebook so I can fully enjoy the rafting experience without issue. Great customer service!!!! The rafting was great, and for a newbie like me, very fun. Eduardo made sure we were all prepared and explained what we had to do. We got to see lots of birds and the scenery was beautiful. 10 out 10 would recommend.
