Amazing and brilliant experience - Excellent day and our instructor was amazing. 2.5hrs out of Rio, we were driven by our guide Alex, who is the most friendliest guy ever. Beautiful scenic route to our stop on the river. Our experience of white water rafting was exhilarating and our instructor was brilliant. He brought along his dog Lou, a very experienced white water rafter and incredible to see xx One of the best experiences ever and never to be forgotten. Pity trip advisor doesn’t allow video. As I would post so you can all see. Brilliant brilliant brilliant xxx
