Also as an extra bonus he took a lot of fun pictures of the trip! Totally recommend this activity! We will be back for sure - maybe when there is more water in the river. But evens the water levels were lower - it was still a great adventure for us. So yes absolutely 5 stars. We also booked the lunch - it was a fantastic way to extend the nice trip.
