This was an excellent experience and was well organised and well explained as well as just enough hype and joking to make a potentially daunting experience fun. Pablo was an excellent captain and kept us safe but made sure we got really wet and dunked in the process. The raft stayed upright and no one ended up in the water (unless they wanted to in the swimming pools). Fantastic photos too, so overall really worth doing!
Best time ever! Highly recommended.
