10/10 experience - Ricky and Sean were the best guides we could have asked for. The currents were good and we felt safe and comfortable but also thrilled and excited. It was so much fun and a nice once of a lifetime experience!

Great rafting in Barrons river - Amazing experience, beautiful views, very responsible and great crew! You can rent shoes from the company, and be prepared for some work on the boat- paddling and working as a team with other members! And definitely do jump into the river for the swim- it was so good after all hard work… Highly recommended!

Great day rafting - Had a great half day trip. Well organised. Marco was an excellent guide. We had beginners in our raft and he looked after them but we still had a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend this trip and the company.

Amazing introduction to white water rafting - We had Keanu as our tour guide. Knowledgeable experienced and definitely fun- He had us doing burn outs in the boat and jumping off 2 metre cliff. We thoroughly enjoyed our 1st time at rafting both in and out of the water. A great introduction to the extreme sport. He is an asset to have on this team.

Loved it! - Loved the whole experience, our guide was focused on our safety and we felt comfortable on the river due to this. It would have been great to learn a little more history of the area perhaps at the start.
