Fab Family Adventure

Ria_A, Jul 2025

Brilliant family activity. Suited us well, the right amount of adventure and excitement to suit us all. Guides were friendly and confident. They ensured we had a fab time. The kit was excellent quality, clean and well kept. Changing room was very basic and did not have a shower although online it says hot showers available. I felt uncomfortable and a little exposed changing there.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for the lovely review! 😊 We're so glad you enjoyed the adventure and our friendly team 🚣‍♂️✨ We’re sorry about the changing room experience – we’ll work on improving that. Hope to see you again soon!

Amazing first rafting experience

Ashlyn_G, May 2022

The trip was incredible! Class II-III was perfect for us who haven’t been rafting before, but it was still super thrilling. Our guide Heath was AMAZING, super funny and informative. They do pick up and drop off and even a free drink at the end?!? 100% do it!
