Good enough even with low water levels - So much fun! A mix of paddle board and tubing, eventhough the water levels were a bit low, we enjoyed a lot the experince, the team found enough wet spots for us to enjoy! They took care of us and the paddle was very easy to stand up into it. The place was very beautiful and peaceful and the water temperature was perfect even withouth a wetsuit.

Adventure and Beautiful Scenery🙏 - Was a great experience full of adventure and fun. The water level was a bit low, but that did not make it any less beautiful. Such amazing scenery! Had a great time appreciating God's beautiful creation. We had a fun little group and our guides also made it very fun and interesting. Reagen and Enzo...you are both great guides and deserve the 5 stars. May God bless you all...and Jesus loves you❤️thanx for everything.

Stunning tubing trip through the canyon - I did the red route. After a safety briefing you have a scenic drive to the start of the route and then carry your equipment through the forest to the start of the canyon. The tubing was incredible and you get to go all the way out to the ocean! Can't describe how beautiful the canyon was. We were a group of 4 and were expertly guided by Ross and Luke, they have great knowledge of the area and I felt safe and had a lot of fun. Some optional cliff jumps really add to the experience. Would highly recommend.

The staff were awesome... - The staff were awesome and beautiful scenery. I would only recommend this by first checking the water level. It was too low and we walked a lot of the time or the tubes kept getting stuck between the rocks.

Finger weg! - Our expectations were not met in any way. We had contacted the organizer directly after booking via the TripAdvisor portal and specifically asked if we were provided with a neoprene suit. no response Upon arrival then the first negative surprise suit and shoes must be paid separately additional !!!! Without a suit, the tour is completely impossible. Then it seemed strange to us that we were for only two participants. It turned out that the river carried far too little water to Enterprise anything remotely related to rafting. So we paddled a little on a kind of lake and rode a few meters with SUPs The rest consisted of walk in the creek bed!? Conclusion: This tour should NEVER have been offered in these dry conditions.... Totally dubious. The 2 stars are awarded only for the new guides who tried to make the most of it and for the hot shower afterwards as it was incredibly cold.
