Great time. Perfect explanation to fun ratio. The guides hype you up, make it funny and interesting. Safety was important but so was having fun with the water and your boat mates. “Sweet as” is now my new saying, lol

A thrill a minute. The guides make something that could be very dangerous almost completely safe. The big waterfall is white knuckle and the highlight of the experience. There are a few different companies but I would recommend Kaitiaki.
