The white water rafting tour was a lot of fun, with stunning views and exciting rapids - definitely the highlight of my trip. I am not a morning person so my only negative was the start time, but it was worth it!

Great way to see sights that you really can't see unless you go up the river with these guys. No boring slow cruises here though, sightseeing at speed which is the way it should be. Great drivers and fun time.
