We (a group of 4 girls) were genuinely surprised how much we enjoyed this activity. The transfer to the river was well-planned, the scenery was absolutely stunning and our guide made all the difference. (His name is Mitja if I'm not mistaken) His English was super, knew a lot about our surroundings and made the whole tour more enjoyable. The tour was organised, the swimming suits and other stuff were clean and taken care of.

Great communication prior to attendance from the guides.
