Fantastic Experience!

Wiki_M, Sep 2025

We had so much fun! 4 hours flew past. Alvaro was a great guide - helpful, informative and very kind. We came at the end of the season so the water was slightly lower than it should’ve been, meaning the rapids weren’t too extreme and we did end up getting stuck on the rocks - remember to wiggle and shake to free the canoe! The company provide you with full gear, a bottle of water and a small snack along the way. Being able to swim helps, but even if you can’t, the life jackets provide full support. We stopped at 2 spots where we swam - one of which had you jumping either 2m or 4m from a rock. Alvaro took plenty of photos and videos along the way, so you don’t have to bring your phone with you (if you do, it’s at your own risk). Great weather and even better company. Our group was quite small (10 people including the guide), so we had a calm and relaxing experience. It was our first time canoeing and I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for an adrenaline rush with beautiful scenery! Thank you for the experience!

Fun activity in beautiful nature!

We had an amazing time Rafting/ Tubing. The scenery was beautiful and the overall experience was great. Our guide Pedro from JUST COME was super fun and we felt extremely safe with him. Also as an extra bonus he took a lot of fun pictures of the trip! Totally recommend this activity! We will be back for sure - maybe when there is more water in the river. But evens the water levels were lower - it was still a great adventure for us. So yes absolutely 5 stars. We also booked the lunch - it was a fantastic way to extend the nice trip. Cute restaurant and good food. Thanks Pedro!!
