We had a wild ride in the raft.
The staff are friendly and relaxed. It is a bit exhausting but is worth it, absolutely. The best moment was where we rode down the 7 metre waterfall. Must do for everyone who loves to get an adrenalin rush.

The biggest commercially rafted waterfall in the world, really cool guys to take you out, remainder of rapids are pretty calm.
So fun!

One and a half hours rafting with the highest commercialised rafted waterfall (7m)!

Quite some money you have to spend for an hour on the water, but 100% worth it.
We were thrilled by the idea of going down a 7.5m waterfall in a boat, but the guides took real good care so we felt safe all the time. Big fun.
