“Overall the rafting was very exciting and interesting . Just it would have been really important to mention that we would have to climb down over three hundred steps and climb up another steep 400-500!! I had a knee issue and the climbing was very harmful for my knee and back. It would have been very important to mention all that accurately on the description The meal was ok , no drinks were included”

There are a lot of stairs(348) going down to the river and 343 coming up. Halfway up I was struggling (asthma) he waited while I took my medication and helped me up the rest of the stairs, ran across the street for water for me and let me rest before heading back. Amazing human being. Can not say enough about this experience❤️ The company is very efficient and organized.”
