River madness!
We thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking experience. The rapids were fast and exciting, whilst also being safe. Our guide was very knowledgable, and explained everything very well, he has very good English. We also got the go pro footage for free, and we were given a free drink afterwards. It’s great value for money, and a wonderful way to see the beautiful country side. Would highly recommend!

It's great to hear our guide's knowledge and English came through so clearly too. And yes, the free GoPro footage and drink afterwards are little extras we love including, so you leave with more than just memories! We hope to welcome you back to bkp for another countryside adventure soon! 🛶
