Excellent. The staff were so lovely. We had a fantastic time white water rafting, the equipment, trained staff and two person kayak were so safe. The trekking up to the waterfall with probably the most knowledgeable tour guide I’ve ever experienced was worth the extra money. It was a brilliant day out.

The whole day was an amazing experience from start to finish! We started off with the white water rafting, Sam my captain along with the other staff made sure it was safe and very enjoyable! We then had a really tasty lunch followed by our trekking tour with Tin to see the waterfall. It was so refreshing to be able to go underneath the waterfall, the trek was also enjoyable with lots of nice photo opportunities. Overall would highly recommend!

The day was so much fun!! We started the day with the trek and our guide, Sack (he used the reference of a potato sack to remember it haha) was so lovely and passionate about nature. He stopped many times to teach us about the plants and their purposes and even shared his childhood stories. It made the walk so much more enjoyable than just a trek to a waterfall. One there we dipped in the water and enjoyed a snack and the view. After a lovely lunch we headed for the water rafting activity. A lot of supporting staff, attention to detail and security, ensuring we were all aware of how to stay safe throughout the activity. All boat captains were super engaging and nice and they made it fun even in ‘quieter’ areas of the river. Sack was also there, leading in an individual kayak, and shared more stories of the area and even let us paddle board where possible! Amazing day and couldn’t recommend it any more :)
