These guys were awesome, they were able to fit us in no problem, the kit was top notch. Safety was a priority and everyone was so friendly and helpful. The young lady who guided us was incredible, sorry I have forgotten your name . A little surprise stop at a waterfall and a great lunch. Thank you for a brilliant experience.

WHITE WHITE Water Rafting Adventure

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a great white water rafting experience!! We appreciated the wet suits and jackets and layers - although decided by lunch was too much heat. Our guide, Ryan was awesome and very knowledgeable and professional. We were rafting at very end of their season so water was down some but we did have a series of good fun rapids water in last half of our trip!

Fantastic experience, highly recommend.

Great experience! From start to finish it was thoroughly enjoyable, a good combination of thrills, fun and laughter. The whole team are experienced and very health & safety conscious, you feel you are in good hands. Would do it all over again!

White Water Rafting

Published on Sep, 2024

We did the family adventure tour and it was perfect for our first time. Dan the guide had some great jokes and lots of information on the surrounding area. For someone who has never did white water rafting I felt safe. If you want a great adventure without the large rapids this tour is for you.
