The water rafting itself was fairly easy and can be done by all ages. You will most certainly get wet! I would definitely recommend to bring a GoPro or waterproof camera of some sort as the views on the river are beautiful, but also to capture the fun you're having whilst water rafting. The staff will even help to take pictures for you if you provide them with your waterproof camera. Will 100 do it all again!”
