    What a thrill ride!! We had such a fun experience from start to finish. Checking in was a breeze and we were given safety information before getting in the boat. The pilot was incredible and we had a blast flying through waterways and canyons. A must do!! Appreciated the warm handlebars!

    Friendly staff and full safety briefing. Our driver Rob was entertaining and informative, as well as expert in navigating the river. I don't travel well usual so was apprehensive, but put completely at ease and wanted to do it again straight after! Amazing experience, well worth the price

  • Fun and exciting
