Me and 3 friends from the UK did the white water rafting class 3-5 last week, and had THE BEST time. Wave was fantastic, and our guide Bryan was the best. We felt super safe with him even though the rapids were loco! We all managed to fall in multiple times (we are special that way) and Bryan was saving the day pulling us back in. It was a fabulous atmosphere - he was very jokey and full of laughter as well as being a very clear and in-control guide. 10/10. We had a brilliant, adrenaline-filled day. Highly recommend. :)seansP7111OZ

Had an absolute blast, Gerald our guide is the man. Five of us went, girls ages 12 13 15 and parents. Water was lowish so I would recommend the class III-IV vs II-III.
