Whether you’re looking for Romance or making this day a family outing, this is sure to be a day you’ll remember.
The rafts may look unstable, but you’ll be surprised at how well balanced they are. Getting on and off will be a breeze.
The seats are well padded so this will be a comfortable journey.
Even if you can’t swim, you can still enjoy the ride. Life vests are provided just in case, but chances are you won’t need them.
The depth of the river is only 4 feet most of the year anyway so you can relax.
Relax and take in the scenery. You’ll be surrounded by beautiful trees and exquisite wildlife. No worries though, none of the wildlife in this area is dangerous.
The sound of the river flowing along with the woodpeckers pecking away and the various exotic birds you’ll come across will make this experience unforgettable.
Take your camera out. You’ll enjoy looking through these photos later.
