Our guide was super helpful. He met the vibe of the group and was very friendly and funny and kept us excited. They made sure the smaller members of our group were kept warm by providing an extra layer of wetsuit, which worked quite well. This was a first rafting experience for half of our group of 4, and everyone had a great time. We did have to switch to this river the day before our tour because the river we booked had too low of water levels, but that couldn't be helped by Outdoor. They did a great job accommodating us, given the circumstances.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! 😊 We're delighted to hear that your guide helped make the experience so much fun and that everyone in your group had a great first rafting adventure. We also really appreciate your understanding regarding the last minute river change, sometimes nature has other plans, but we're glad we could find a great alternative. We hope to welcome you all back for another adventure with OUTDOOR soon! 🌊🙌
We got there and had booked the Simme but the guide saw us and knew we needed a more adventurous ride as we had rafted before. So they switched us to the Lutschine River which had faster rapids and it was worth the switch! Guides (Jackie and Danny) were great and made it a very enjoyable experience.
Sounds like the team made the perfect call 😄 We're so glad you enjoyed the upgrade to the Lütschine and got the adventure you were looking for! Jackie and Danny will be happy to hear your kind words. Thanks for joining us and for sharing your experience! 🌊🙌
Eddy was our raft guide, amazing even for people who are not confident.Guides make it feel safe and fun.Amazing views alongside the rivers were amazing and photos were amazing and reasonably priced, photos were also sent in a good time (under 3 hours).Highlight was going through a famers field where the cows were super friendly and followed us down the stream.Once in a lifetime experience. Our morning trip was cancelled due to lack of participants, outdoors rang me the day before and we were able to rebook the same day but for the afternoon which ended up being a highlight as we sailed down the river for the sunset! We were the first trip of the season, what an experience.
Thanks so much for your detailed feedback! Great to hear you felt safe and had fun with Eddy, and that the whole experience left such a strong impression. Sounds like the afternoon trip with the sunset turned into something really special. Hope to see you again on the water!
Beginner's river rafting on the Simme was a fantastic experience for the family. It was a nice and comfortable raft ride along the river with a few exciting rapids along the way. We absolutely loved it. Our guide Hemi from NZ (hope I spelled name right) was excellent and gave us great chat along the way. Wonderful day out for all.
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! We’re really glad your family enjoyed the mix of calm stretches and fun rapids on the Simme. Great to hear Hemi made the experience even better!😊 We’d love to see you again for another river adventure with OUTDOOR!
Brilliant family activity. Suited us well, the right amount of adventure and excitement to suit us all. Guides were friendly and confident. They ensured we had a fab time. The kit was excellent quality, clean and well kept. Changing room was very basic and did not have a shower although online it says hot showers available. I felt uncomfortable and a little exposed changing there.
Thank you for the lovely review! 😊 We're so glad you enjoyed the adventure and our friendly team 🚣♂️✨ We’re sorry about the changing room experience – we’ll work on improving that. Hope to see you again soon!
We traveled as a family to go rafting. Everything was fine, except that they did not allow us to take our cell phones to take photos or videos, and they told us that they would do it, however, no one on their team takes video or photos, so we missed leaving a trace of our adventure. . An area to improve, which can even give them more income, and greater customer satisfaction. Likewise, a good part of the return trip is on foot, that is, walking, instead of being taken back in a truck or car.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the rafting experience, but we’re sorry to hear about the issues with photos and the return trip. We're sorry, but we do not offer a photo service for this activity, and for safety reasons, it is not allowed to bring phones onto the raft. We understand how important it is to capture memories and will look into improving our photo service. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we hope to have the chance to provide a better experience next time. 🍀
Amazing experience. Guide very professional and definitely knew his stuff. Felt completely safe and well informed. Scenery beautiful. Rapids fun but not over the top. Overall a great experience and a great company. Would highly recommend the experience and Outdoor!!
Thank you for sharing your amazing experience! We're thrilled to hear you felt safe and well-informed with our amazing guides. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! 🤙🙌
The weather gods weren't with us, but we had an amazing time anyway. This is a well run operation with a talented (and hilarious) team. I promise these folks will make you laugh and have fun whether you want to or not. They're great, they're obviously experienced, they're good teachers, and their equipment is top notch, from the boats to the vans that will transport you. They have great support staff for everything you might need. We were lucky to have Stan as our guide. He is experienced and fun, really everything you'd want from someone guiding your boat down rapids. Great, great trip - please do it, you won't regret. (Oh, and purchase the picture package! Some of the best from our entire trip. Well worth it.)
Wow, thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you had a great time and lots of fun with us and our guides. Our guides are truly world-class! We hope to welcome you back soon for another adventure! 😍🚀
Want to commend our Guide, Hemi, for making our family’s river rafting experience so memorable! He was clear with his instructions and he was patient with us. Hemi made us feel comfortable and assured that we were doing well even though we were such amateurs! His cheerful demeanour lighten the fears of river rafting! He even remembered all our names! Thank you Hemi!!
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. We’re very happy to hear that you had a good time with Hemi and will be sure to share your feedback with him. Here’s to many more adventures! 🚀🙌
The experience was amazing! Crazy rapids were so much fun and our guide Hudson was great! Would highly recommend to others.
So nice to hear, thank you very much for sharing! To many more adventures with Outdoor! 🤩
