What to expect
Expect a relaxed float through scenic river gorge with straightforward paddling technique—guides teach basics on arrival. The water is transparent and shallow in sections, letting you see the riverbed. Three hours covers distance without rush; pace is leisurely. You'll paddle alongside rock walls and vegetation, stopping briefly for tea or coffee. Conditions vary by season: bring extra layers and rain gear if weather looks unsettled, as wind and cold affect comfort on the water.
Good to know
Bring your own drinks and rain jacket for windy or cold days. Infants can join (sitting on an adult's lap or in a specialised seat). Not suitable if pregnant or with heart conditions. Insurance isn't included—arrange separately if needed.
