The so-called "full day rafting" trip isn't anywhere close to a half-day, let alone a full day. After arriving at our required check-in time, we spent 30 minutes standing in the sun and it wasn't until 10am that we were in the water. We were RUSHED through lunch for reasons that are still unclear, except that the 20-something year old male guides had swallowed their lunches whole and expected the same from their guests. We were done and in the bus ready to come back by 1:30pm. That's three-and-a-half hours from oars in to oars out of the water. Again, this was advertised as a FULL DAY tour. And after being rushed through a lunch that made no accommodations for vegetarianin-- spite of being asked to indicate diet preference ahead of time--the final section of the trip immediately begins with an intense, but brief rapid, followed by long slow flat waters. The trip should be advertised as a 90 minute rafting ride followed by a 90 minute float.
The guides were top rate. Friendly. Safe. Easy to understand. Encouraging. Cheerful. Entertaining. And very courteous, in spite of the meat-eaters only gut-bomb lunch.
The staff at Noah's Ark are friendly, welcoming, courteous and helpful. The site is clean, well organized and safety is clearly among their highest priorities. For a tourist business, I appreciate that they're not constantly up-selling or nickel-and-diming the entire time. They offer rentals and extras, like photos and discounts at local shops, but they don't over sell it or pressure you.
I strongly recommend the so-called "half day" trip, which is where all but one of the rapids are, but I would save your money and frustration and skip the "full day."
