5.00The experience itself was so amazing but all aside the rafting, our guide Davo was the best guide ever, he was telling multiple stories about the areas we were in, did cool tricks during rafting for us, and I seriously couldn’t have wished for a better guide. Davo was not only a very outgoing person making the trip fun but he made me and my family want to continue to go rafting again.
The best time!!
