Challenging and Safe
This was my first time and I must admit that there was not one time that I felt insecure or afraid. It was a very well organized trip and the guide was very convincing and persuaded everyone. The rapids were somewhat high but total fun. (TripAdvisor)

It was an adreanline experience. Felt very safe, the guide was very nice and well aware of rescue and first aid. The kits were provided and all were pretty new and well maintained with no tear. Highly recommended, an ideal day trip. (TripAdvisor)
