Great experience! Lots of fun! My guide, Elmer, was friendly and knowledgeable. The company was easy to work with as well. I had a small issue where there weren’t enough people signed up for the time slot I originally booked for it to run at that time, but they were able to get me into another one without any issue and they were quick to respond over WhatsApp even though it was after hours. There was also a little bit of confusion concerning the meeting time and place, but it all worked out fine in the end with little hassle. All in all, I definitely recommend.

Well organised and great fun. Pickup went smoothly, they provided all the gear and all went as expected.
Hunter's amazing. Really appreciated him. Had a great time! Thanks for such a fun morning! I'm so glad we signed up for this.
I wish we got more photos from the "paparazzi" and there was a better delivery system for them, but regardless, we got super splashed, got to jump from the rocks and everything felt safe. Plus Hunter's a competitive kayaker and rafter which is super cool.
Hands down our favorite rafting experience having rafted three times before, including class 4s in Alaska. Kevin was a fantastic guide and a pleasure to be around. The river itself added to the experience with waterfall trekking and cliff jumping! 10/10 recommend!
It was such an adrenaline rush. I got splashed with chilly water through out several parts of the excursion. Met some really nice travelers as well.
Everything went smoothly from pickup to the activity itself. The team was professional and experienced. César was an excellent guide and the scenery was absolutely beautiful!
PS. The water is cold!
Was fun experience & recommend to anyone. I was travelling alone but joined a raft with 2 other people & we all had a good time.
Really exciting, amazing experience with our guide Ikira who made it great fun and was very knowledgable
This was soooo much fun and sold me on rafting as a whole! It's a great way to spend your day outside. Our tour guide, in particular, made it a great day. Thank you, Hunter!
This was a ton of fun! Our guides were excellent and did a good job of keeping us safe while we had an exciting experience. Thank you!
We saved this for the last day of our Arequipa trip but wish we did it sooner so we could do it again and again! Initially felt a bit apprehensive but our guide Elmer was very thorough with instructions and encouraging along the way, taking many pics and videos. Very well organised and so much fun - a must do!
Our guide Emmer/l was confident & fun to be with. Fellow rafters 🇧🇪 were very friendly & nice. It was a smooth ride & we had a great time. 👍🏻
Its so fun!! Percy was an amazing guide. We had so much fun. Pick up and drop off was perfect as well and it’s a great experience in arequipa
Absolutely amazing and a blast. This is not a simple fake slow boat ride. This is a get soak, paddle hard and have fun. You feel safe at the same time but also know there is some risk. Paco was an amazing guide and worth every dollar. They should honestly charge more money for this 🖤🖤🖤
Company took care of all equipment needs and transportation in a timely manner. Raft guides were knowledgeable and safe. Would recommend!

We had so much fun WW rafting, I think my friend and I giggled the entire way down the river. While WW Rafting is always fun, our guide (Ikira) was a blast and made the whole afternoon even better.
This is a great way to spend a few hours in Arequipa to get out of the city (but the drive isn't long, you're not THAT far out of town) especially if you're not visiting Colca Canyon and want to do something active.
Just don't forget that sunscreen!
The operators and boat crews on the tour were great. Would definitely do it again.
Great time.
The requirement to keep writing more is annoying at best. Makes me not want to leave any more reviews.
Absolutely loved this. Felt safe and had loads of fun! I was initially a bit nervous but really enjoyed the entire thing.
Highly recommended activity. Very safe. Conscientious guides. Perfect time on water. Afterwards treated to Oreos and water beautiful scenery. Very picturesque.
Wow, what an incredible adventure this was! Our guide, Sebastian was nice and kind. He was attentive to me, as I was a beginner to rafting. I had the most fun in Arequipa
York was a great guide and made the experience even more enjoyable. This activity is very well priced, and the river is lots of fun. Highly recommended and thanks for a fantastic time!
Had a great afternoon! This was the first time I had done rafting. Paco was a super guide. Totally recommended (but you need to remember insect repellent as I got a few bites)
This was so much fun! Honestly could not recommend the experience enough, one of my fave parts of visiting Peru. The whole experience was super well organised and you can see how much the team loves their job!
Exceptionally professional and capable guides made a really fun rafting experience even better. Our guide, Elmer, was so enthusiastic yet kind and capable; he was also terrific with young children. We will definitely repeat this.
Excellent experience! Coordination was smooth on the day. It was a lot of fun and felt very safe. Our guide Elmer was fantastic. Highly recommended!
Super fun, Paco was a great guide! The whole crew was amazing! We all had a great time. The water was cold, but worth it. 10/10 recommend!
We had a great time rafting the chili river! The process was smooth from pick up to drop off. Everything was explained well and our tour guide Percy was helpful and attentive the entire rafting trip. Definitely one of our highlights in Arequipa! Thank you team for an awesome experience :)
Had a great time doing the rafting. The guides helped make it a very fun experience. Would recommend to anyone visiting Arequipa
Fun and very safe experience. Always with a rescue canue. Suitable for beginners. Jumping into water from a rock was fun
This was one of our best experiences in Peru and definitely ranks at the top of all time experiences. Our rafting guide Jean-Pierre was terrific; a skilled operator. The whole experience was so well organized.
Any time in Araquipa this is the way to use your time wisely!
Fantastic alexperience
