2.00The information about pick up time was inconsistent but the welcome was nice on the bus. Unfortunately, we were not informed about the shallow water and my husband is a large size so hit his backside often on rocks, ect. I was probably expecting a bit more action as most of the time it is just floating along in shallow water that is not really a rainforest environment, eg; back of people's houses, campers, people picnicing, ect. Getting out of the tube - in the water - was extremely challenging, especially as I am not extremely fit. It would be a good idea to have some ropes available for people to use to assist. There are no change rooms so expect to travel back to your pick up spot in wet clothes. The snack is a muesli bar and a popper I personally didn't think it was worth the cost

5.00Tubing was lots of fun for our group of varying ages. Very chilled floating followed by just enough adrenaline and small rapids to keep everyone excited. Guides were great. Fun afternoon out for everyone
