5.00The kayaking was fun, safe, and well-led. Our tour lasted about 2 hours and we had a short cookie/juice break about 2/3 through. Thanks for the fun afternoon!
Fantastic and super fun trip

5.00Absolutely brilliant time! We had a big group of 19 of us, Felipe was so patient with us all and made sure we all felt comfortable and safe. I was worried because it was training heavy for a few hours leading up to the trip and I thought the river would be too rough but it wasn’t and they assured me everything was safe. The kayaking was so fun and my two sons 15 and 13 were ready to go again and do more rapids by the end of the trip. Book the trip! I was nervous and thought it would be too scary but it wasn’t, it was a great day out! Plus they provide you with great photos and videos of your experience included with the price which is great, I hate when companies suddenly offer you photos and videos for an extra exorbitant price. They also give you water, juice box and cookies, granola bars half way through the trip which is great!

5.00I went with my partner and we had a very good experience. All team members are very nice and helped us at all times. It was our first time kayaking and they made us enjoy it a lot. In addition, they send you the photos and videos that are made during the activity to the email.

5.00We really enjoyed our double kayak trip down the Lima river. Our guide was patient, knowledgeable and friendly. It was beautiful weather and very pretty scenery. Small rapids provided a bit of excitement. Easy paddling. Would have liked it to be longer.

This kayak tour down the beautiful Lima River with Centro Aventura was honestly the highlight of my trip!

5.00This kayak tour down the beautiful Lima River with Centro Aventura was honestly the highlight of my trip! As a female solo traveller, I felt incredibly well taken care of from start to finish. The whole experience was so well organised, fun, and just the right level of challenge. The surroundings were absolutely stunning, and Andre and To were fantastic guides, friendly, accommodating, and full of great stories that made the journey even more memorable. They created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere that I felt completely at ease the entire time. I’d also booked other activity tours with different operators during my vacation that ended up being cancelled because I was travelling alone, but these guys never even considered cancelling. That meant so much. Truly one of the best experiences of my trip — I can’t recommend Centro Aventura and their team highly enough!
Sightseeing + lunch + kayaking

5.00Beautiful, expertly guided kayak tour on the Lima. Scenic, the river is beautiful, a few rapids at dams give the tour the kick, but are easy to handle.
Very good organization...
