Everything went perfectly. The pick up was right on time. It was just the two of us the whole trip. The rafting part was amazing! The river was nice, perfect temperature. The level 2-3 was exactly that, not too crazy but still thrilling and fun. David (our raft instructor/guide) was awesome! He kept us safe and knew all the tips and tricks. The fruit break was good! The fruit was yummy and the swimming was fun. Lunch was great as well. I would 100% do it again.
Guides were amazing!! Had the best time!

This was very fun experience! Gabriel was funny and put us at ease when we went into the river! He allowed my husbamd, and 10 and 15 year old to "ride the bull"! And we got to jump off of a cliff into the water! I would suggest this tour to anyone! My kids had a blast, and yours will too! The lunch afterwards was perfect and delicious!
Great time
