A truly first rate experience! Great service when making my reservation, fabulous personnel at every interaction, high quality equipment too. Our guide Elton was a joy. Maneuvered and lead our boat with amazing skill and we never felt anything but comfort and security. We took our parents to celebrate their 50th anniversary. They are each 70 and loved the experience though they are sore. Sitting in a boat like this for 90 minutes does use new muscles. The photos available afterward are incredible and the gift shop is quite nice. We’re told there are 11 companies doing this in this region, I’d be surprised if this one isn’t among the best.

Our guide mayo was awesome, I can not swim and he made me feel 100% being comfortable on a raft. I'd definitely do it again.
