What to expect
You'll be kitted with flotation vest, helmet and paddle, then guided downriver by experienced staff. The rapids range from manageable to properly technical, with enough pace to keep things interesting but not overwhelming. Expect to get soaked and tired in the best way. Between getting briefed, gearing up, paddling and returning, the whole outing takes just over three hours. The base has decent facilities with hot showers, and there's a bar serving cold drinks and pizza if you need refuelling.
Good to know
Bring swimming shorts and water shoes that can stay wet. Pregnant travellers should skip this one. A minimum group size applies; if numbers don't hit the mark, you'll be rescheduled or refunded in full.
