Another great rafting experience with Andy and Enya. Just as much fun in wet weather as when the sun is shining. Had a precious rafting experience with Andy on the Franklin River for 7 days. He was extremely professional and also a great communicator. This helped to keep us safe yet have an exhilarating experience.
Thanks so much
Had good fun , weather was good but water is a bit low.
Thanks for coming rafting with us.
Had an awesome time on the Yarra River rafting trip. The instructor was super friendly, kind and really professional, which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. They were great with my son as well—made sure he felt comfortable and included, which meant a lot. You can tell they really care about what they do. Thanks again for such a lovely day out. We’ll definitely be recommending it!
Thanks so much Barak, we loved taking you rafting.
Had a Great time! Andrew was a great host with losts of fun facts about the river. Learnt many great skills.
Thanks Nigel, we loved taking you rafting
The guide is so kind and easygoing. He explained a lot of things about Yara river and creatures in it, so got to know new things that I’d had no idea before. Rafting is also nice and it feels so nice because of sound of nature and beautiful views. After rafting, he took us to lookout called “sky high”, which was not included in the tour. The veiw from it was also awesome 👏
Thanks so much
It Was Amazing. Informative, educational and a real rare experience. We learnt about the rivers power, how to manage it and the history of the area.
Thanks so much
Had an excellent time with an amazing guide (Connor), would totally recommend to anyone. Views were great, rafting wasn't too challenging so it seems accessible to all.
Thanks so much
Went with my two sons [11 &13]. We enjoyed the whole experience, from learning about the flora and fauna, to seeing the wombat and eagle, and experiencing the paddle. Our guide was enthusiastic and I formative. As my sons have kayaked before, they found the rapids a bit tame/few. Therefore, for our next trip we will try out another section of the river that has greater volume/more rapids. All in all, a great afternoon.
Thanks so much
Highly recommend this tour. My husband and my son had never done it before and definitely had an incredible experience. After an amazing canoe ride, the guide made sure to bring us close to wild kangaroos. Just do it, you will love it!
Thanks so much, Andrew loved taking the guys rafting
The views were amazing and my friends and I had so much fun. The tour guides Andy and Jen were excellent offering encouragement and support.
Thanks so much, we loved taking you rafting
