The food was awesome, the natural setting was spectacular – both at the lodge and that the rapids, and the staff are all extremely professional and competent. We loved our two day adventure!

One of the best experiences of my life! I took the weekend white water kayak course. The value you get for the course is incredible for the price. The facility is beautiful, the place has a charm, a hidden gem! All the staff provided exceptional customer service. I learned a lot of great techniques and had a ton of fun!
