Rafting not included

Nitzia_C, Jun 2025

The cost of this excursion DOES NOT include the cost of the actual Rafting. It's a little misleading, this ONLY covers the transportation. Although, the driver was very pleasant and accommodating, the activity listing is a little deceptive.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly glad to hear that you found our driver pleasant and accommodating—that’s something we pride ourselves on! We’re sorry for any confusion regarding the cost of the rafting excursion. However, we do make it clear in both the tour description and the receipt provided that the entry fee for the rafting is not included in the price, and that the cost covers transportation only. We always aim to be transparent so guests can plan accordingly. Your feedback is appreciated, and we’ll continue to ensure all details remain as clear as possible for future guests. Thanks again for choosing us!

don't waste your money

Sameer_S, Aug 2024

this is rip off ... you are on the raft for 10 min ..not a good experience waste of money. It is not worth the money AT ALL.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

We are a bit confused with the accusations made in this review, as the service provided successfully transported the you to and from your intended destination, fulfilling the service as agreed with the 5 hrs duration as per your booking so it is highly impossible for the rafting to last only 10 min.

Well come back

We had a great time rafting with ALEX he definitely was the life of the party. He made sure we had a great time he didn’t rush our tour he made sure we were safe getting on and off the raft definitely will book him again.

Response from Host, Jun 2024
