Highlighted reviews from other travelers
I had a great time with ocean rafting. They made it fun from the moment you get picked up to the very end. Everything was organised even though the weather was a bit rough but with the winds it made it so much better. We had Harry, Matteo and another guy (apologies I can’t remember his name) as our tour guides and they were amazing making sure we were all good throughout the day and making the experience 10 times better. As a vegetarian, the food did not disappoint. You got to be ready to be soaked so if you have a raincoat highly recommend whether it’s raining or not. In general, definitely would recommend 10/10!!
Absolutely amazing day out with great crew! The weather wasn’t very good but they made the most of the massive waves and made sure we still had a great time, 100% recommend doing
