We had so much fun! 4 hours flew past. Alvaro was a great guide - helpful, informative and very kind. We came at the end of the season so the water was slightly lower than it should’ve been, meaning the rapids weren’t too extreme and we did end up getting stuck on the rocks - remember to wiggle and shake to free the canoe! The company provide you with full gear, a bottle of water and a small snack along the way. Being able to swim helps, but even if you can’t, the life jackets provide full support. We stopped at 2 spots where we swam - one of which had you jumping either 2m or 4m from a rock. Alvaro took plenty of photos and videos along the way, so you don’t have to bring your phone with you (if you do, it’s at your own risk). Great weather and even better company. Our group was quite small (10 people including the guide), so we had a calm and relaxing experience. It was our first time canoeing and I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for an adrenaline rush with beautiful scenery! Thank you for the experience!
Very nice experience, the supervising team was at the top very reassuring and listening, not to mention incredible jumps and views. Brief activity perfect for our family
We had an amazing time Rafting/ Tubing. The scenery was beautiful and the overall experience was great. Our guide Pedro from JUST COME was super fun and we felt extremely safe with him. 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. Cute restaurant and good food. Thanks Pedro!!

Really beautiful way to see the river. Our adventure was upgraded due to the rain. The rapids were fun and our tour guide was experienced and warm, like a Portuguese Santa, making us feel safe and encouraging everyone to have fun. It was a little cold, but the gear we were provided was perfect, and initially nearly too good at keeping us warm in the sun. I only wish the river was longer. Very very good way to see the river and quite fun.
Unique feeling .. the possibility to hear the silence of nature .. enjoy the river in its course .. peace and tranquility, are the words that occur to me, simultaneously with adventure and challenge .. Thank you to the Just Come guide who accompanied us and so well motivated us during the experience, and for new ones!!
It is very tasty, an experience that we will definitely want to repeat when the waters are higher. But it's worth going no matter what time it is. My father and I loved, the guides are super friendly and do not leave quite safe the whole trip. I thank the whole team and hope to see you all again.
We sailed a nice stretch and were well guided by Lee, which is a nice addition that he takes pictures that are shared via goodly drive. This time of year the water is low, but despite that we had a few nice gears. Thanks for the nice day and hopefully back in April for rafting;-)
They helped us choose the best option, depending on the flow of the river and then committed to ensuring excellence from the start to the end of the activity. The guides were able to provide us with the most fun in the activities, while ensuring that the safety was total at all times. They were absolutely fantastic.
At first she was skeptical and then delighted with everything that followed. There followed 2 hours in which the joy of being in nature on a good and obedient river, supervised but without being disturbed by Pedro - our guide and observer are a memory to which you want to return. Congratulations to JustCome on his professionalism!
