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.
Amazing

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!

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...

5.00The kayak descent was excellent, fairly easy (I went with two children) but with 3-4 quick (also face-to-face) that provided more fun on the route. The guides kept the good disposal (and security ) of the group, and the logistics of equipment and return to the starting point well organized. I recommend it to people who are starting kayaking, or with children.
Brilliant kayaking river fun with fab guide

5.00My husband and sons had the best time on the beautiful river Lima with the brilliant instructor called Tor. They loved every minute, especially the rapids! Totally professional company and fascinating to hear they regularly support various teams at Porto FC with team building, including the men's top team. Brilliant 5*****
