“Beginner friendly without being dull - Had a great time during the rafting, in a pretty glorious setting. It was an exciting experience, but we never felt out of our depth or in danger. As expected, we came back sodden, but were able to change clothes in the restaurant bathroom (where the buffet lunch was pretty good!).” - Reviewed on 2024-08-14
