Amazing!!!

I was a little nervous at first because I am terrified of open water; but our guide, Andy, was an absolute legend and any fear I had of falling in disappeared! The weather, water were beautiful and the scenery was breathtaking...it really was the perfect day!

Really quick run down the river

The brochure offered a more dynamic trip than the river provided. It was brief, not close to the two hours presented. The two hours includes preparation and take out. The guide kept yelling into the ladies' showers for women to just change into their clothes because there wasn't time to rinse off. It was offensive. Also, don't bring a camera. They are prohibited. Poor trip.

Great fun!

Great fun, we were all beginners but it wasn't wussy at all. Beautiful scenery, and in the calm bits you can swim along side the boat.
