White water rapids tubing
Steffanie_D, July 2022
Let me start by saying that the guides for the tour were amazing, especially Kevin! This tour is not for the faint of heart. If you are looking for high adrenaline and love wild adventures then I recommend. Half my party and myself got out of the River early due to the fast rapids and nature of the excursion. If you are a thrill seeker then this is for you, if not then I recommend another tour.
