Great experience

Esther_J, June 2023

Wonderful trip- Sabatian was a great host. We had time to swim and redo another wave. The weather was great so the river was smooth and the ripples fantastic.

SO much fun !

Es una experiencia increíble, recomiendo ir cuando el río esté más caudaloso, pero en general, a nosotras nos encantó y es súper relajante.
