our boys 3 and 4 loved the experience. We had such a great time. I was worried about the coldness but it was great with the wetsuits. Definatly highly recommend doing this with small kids.

This was an amazing experience for our entire family. It was mom and dads first time and we’re adventurous and this satisfied our desire for adventure. That said we also had an 8 year old , 6 year old, and 3 (almost 4) year old with us and fun was had by all. Our 3 year old was tentative and they accommodated her and the older boys each could do as much or as little as they wanted. We loved it and highly recommend.

Family adventures rafting was the perfect experience crafted for our family. Our 11 and 5 year old loved the trip and our guide M was awesome! What great memories to last us for our lifetime! Highly recommend the rafting ( and the accompanying scary but made hilarious !! bus ride to the canyon and back!)

Luke and Mark were brilliant on the water. Mark brilliant driver on the narrow road. Would have loved a hot drink when we finished. But a great time.

This was such a fun ride! Simon was our guide and was very knowledgeable and created a fun environment for all. One of my friends had a recent surgery, and he made her feel safe, secure but confident to do the rafting. It was a very nice and pleasant ride, from beginning to end. I would highly recommend to people who are maybe a little nervous and want to give rafting a try, those with small children, or those who want a little thrill without a ton of hard work involved. We truly had an amazing time!

First time we have done this, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Simon and the crew made for an enjoyable experience. Spay yourself with insect repellent as there are quite a few sandflies around

Excellent trip for families. We went with our 6 year old. The river was low so it was extremely calm, but still good fun. We enjoyed the trip through skippers canyon learning about the history first, and heard more about it as we travelled down the river. Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable and really made the trip. I toyed with doing the jet boating after but we didn't, and I have no regrets. The trip was enough in itself.

Excellent excursion, well organized in a spectacular location. Rafting is ideal for families with young children, plus you can take several baths along the way which makes it more fun The guides are excellent
