Such a great experience!

Bon 4 November 2019

Our coworkers surprised us with this voucher and at first we thought it was just jet boating. We were a bit nervous getting geared up knowing it was going to be a bit more hands on but it was so much better than we could’ve asked for! Then we got picked up by the jet boat on the way back up so we got the best of both activities! Would do it again in a heart beat. Shout out to the team, especially Tanaia who was an amazing raft guide! Hope to see you guys again in the future :)
