From start to finish, the guide/driver was very attentive and considerate towards my 10yr daughter who you could imagine was as nervous as hell. He made her feel comfortable. This amazing & fun joy ride has to be one of the best things we have ever done. I highly recommend it to those who want to get their hearts pumping!

Took the whole family – wife and 4 kids aged 15 to 11. Everyone loved this trip. Worth every dollar
Ash, TripAdvisor

On our last day of holidays we chose to go on Adventure Rafting to end it on a high. I took my 10 year old son and his mate and they both said it was the highlight of our holiday. We did lots of cool fun things but this definitely topped it. Skipper Aaron was friendly, caring and highly skilled. I was impressed of his local knowledge and including First Nation story (respect)! Staff were very helpful and the ride itself delivered. Must try 🤩
