It was a really nice experience, a lot of fun. The guides were also really nice and cool people to be around. All in all I’d definitely recommend to book your next rafting trip there.

The guide was great and did his best to let us enjoy the tour. But the water was so shallow that at no point in time e rafting situation was possible. The boat got stuck at all times and all in all it was more a short kayak tour on a low river.
