We were expecting it to be across the canyon but it was just next to the water. Something you would find at a camping resort. The image shows abseiling as well but this is incorrect. It was not included. The tour guide was great and made the time enjoyable.”

The day suits active families and first-time rafters, but bring water shoes and expect possible waits between activities. Buggy equipment and drinks cost extra.

“Very well organised. They sell the water shoes there for more than what you could probably pay at a regular supermarket, so best to bring with you water shoes as they insist that everyone has. We did the buggies and they sold us 5Euro per person for the glasses and bandana to cover eyes/nose/mouth from dust - for a family of 5 that was 25 Euro and that was pretty steep for a 10 minute drive. Other than that this was a very enjoyable activity, the kids had a great time. It was a beautiful and memorable day and lots of fun! Highly recommended.”
