“It was a great experience for the adults and 2 teenagers. The rapids looked scary but we handled them with ease. The guides were great at making it safe and fun. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was the wet suit sanitation and changing facilities could be better.”

3.Voss: Thrilling Whitewater Rafting Guided Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 70 reviews · 1 day · from $202 a head

Spend about two hours on the Raundal River’s Play Section, paddling a steady run of grade 3 rapids with an English-speaking guide. The three-hour outing includes transport, safety practice, and full river gear. Guide Fin has earned special praise for his calm, friendly instruction, while pools, waterfalls, and mountain views provide breaks between the action.

“We had an amazing time. Fin, our instructor, was the best!!! He was professional and warm and friendly. We loved the experience, but we’re hoping for more time rafting and less time around logistics. There was one part where we had to get out of the rafts to hike around a waterfall, so that felt like a waste of the limited precious time that we had, but other than those two comments, it was a really great experience all around.”

“We had a fantastic time during this event with Mohan and Luis. It was three hours in total, with about 1.5 hours actually in the raft. We ended up going on the lower (safer) river because of the recent weather, but got lucky with little to no rain throughout our trip. There were three of us, and we were with a group of about 16 plus two guides - Mohan and Luis. Luis gave us the instructions and safety rules at the beginning, but my group had Mohan in the raft it self. There were 8 of us in the raft. My brother and I were constantly jumping in the…”

“Buena experiencia. Hicimos el circuito Familiar. Bastante corto de duración y se hace corto. Me esperaba más rato en el barco. Con el circuito familiar hay que bajarse del barco para coger el bus, bajar unos kilómetros y después de nuevo subir al barco. Eso se hace bastante pesado. Muchas consignas de seguridad (es normal) para estar con confianza. El guía Jeep muy amable pero da las instrucciones con algo de autoridad. Y eso no le gusta a todas las personas que no saben de qué va el rafting. se vende las fotos poro unos 20€.”
