The river is so beautiful and the rafting is great with places to stop and swim as well as fast parts. The buggying was good but I think some people found it a little underwhelming so just be aware that you do have to follow the group when you go - although still worth it I think! I wasn’t sure what to bring but if anyone is wondering the same: - swimwear - clothes you don’t mind getting very wet - suncream (apply before you can’t take on the river)…”

“hele leuke ervaring. het canyoning stuk is het mooiste qua natuur. ook de gids was erg leuk maar het afrekenen van de drank en de wetsuits aan het eind gaf een bittere nasmaak aan het eind van deze verder leuke dag. onderweg had een vd gidsen een fles vodka mee en dit werd aangeboden bij enkele stops. over kosten werd niets gezegd. de overige dranken bij de lunch en andere pauze werden goed genoemd maar voor de vodka werd aan het einde ineens 18 euro bijgeteld. uiteindelijk hebben we het niet betaald. jammer dat dit zo moet! Hierdoor sluit je zo'n leuke dag toch anders af!”

“Das Rafting war richtig gut. Die Guides bemühen sich, für jeden einen Spaß daraus zu machen. Auf dem Fluß sind zig Boote der unterschiedlichsten Anbieter gleichzeitig unterwegs, es werden laufend Wasserschlachten gemacht. Die Einteilung der Gruppen erfolgt nach Sprache. Das anschließende Essen war spät aber in Ordnung, danach ging es wieder ins Hotel. Die Abholung erfolgte mit Einen uralten Reisebus ohne Klimaanlage. Dafür, dass immer wieder merkwürdige Gestalten unter den Gästen sind, kann der Veranstalter ja nichts.”
