The rapids are not as intense as other places but the views and the river and water quality are exceptional. The tour guides were hilarious and so much fun. It was a great day.

We got picked up in Bariloche and had a rather long drive to a camp near the raft launch. When we arrived, they served us coffee, tea, and some breads while we waited for everyone to congregate. Then we got suited up and piled back into the vans to get to the launch point. At the river, we were divided up by language and put into rafts. Then we got a good rundown of how to paddle and sit in the boat. The ride was super fun and beautiful! There were even a few opportunities to jump off the raft and swim in some calmer parts of the river! Once the boating was done, we changed back into our clothes and drove back to the camp for lunch. I would recommend bringing a towel to help dry off before changing. You had to pay extra for lunch, but it was reasonably priced and pretty good. There was also the option to buy photos of your trip for an additional fee. After lunch we got back in the vans for the drive back to Bariloche.
Excellent excursion and guides; poor afternoon snack and low point

The extraordinary, entertaining and very refreshing excursion.... exquisite swim in Rio Manso. Excellent guide Lucas (PUPI). The only low point was offering a snack with literally breads with jam and coffee since we were the third group. The previous ones received Milanese and pizza. And the price is the same. Low point that clashes but does not overshadow the work of the guides.
Amazing - thank you!

We were picked up en route from our Estancia and enjoyed a scenic drive to John’s camp a small Patagonia farm. Wetsuits and safety equipment provide d before a short drive to the start of the white water rafting experience. The guides provide a good safety briefing and we’re able to communicate in good English. The rapids were negotiated safely with good instructions from the boat guide. The water is very cold but the chance to float down a rapid should not be missed. End up in Chile ad a short steep walk to the vehicle before heading back to the farm for lunch. All in all a good experience.
