Tout n'est pas dis.
Grande surprise lorsque l'on monte dans le bus on nous apprend que l'on passe par la 7eme route la plus dangereuse au monde. Une ancienne route dans les montagnes qui a été étudié pour le bétail. Le plus drôle est que sur cette route nous avons croisé un 4x4 de safari (petite jeep) ou les touristes payent pour rouler sur cette route à sensation. Et nous dans le plus grand des calmes prenons cela avec un Bus et une remorque énorme. Cela dis le rafting en lui même était super. Mais vraiment pas fairplay de nous prévenir. Personnellement j'ai eu plus de sensation dans le bus que sur la rivière. Sauf que je n'ai pas payé pour mourir en bus. Lorsque jai demandé au guide pourquoi personne n'a rien dis il ma répondu que sinon les gens viendrais pas...

Belle descente mais mauvais acceuil
Une descente superbe merci au guide Sur l eau pour leur professionalisme et leur encadrement et au chauffeur pour le trajet. Acceuil beaucoup plus desagreable quand vous vous presentez pour le check in et que l on vous mentionne que votre niveau de langue n est Pas adapté a du vocabulaire de sécurité et de consigne de base. Si je n avais Pas insisté je ne serai probablement jamais parti ! Si Cette personne à un souci Avec Les etrangers je lui conseil de changer de profession car le tourisme n est Pas adapté d ou la note de 3. Une autre personne m a Pris en charge pour le check in et tout c est très bien passé, aucun souci de comprehension que sa soit Avec Cette derniere Les guides et autres membres du personnel. Bien cordialement

超级刺激
令人难忘的经历，绝对是我以后每次去皇后镇都会玩的项目。Percy是我们的船长，经验丰富，操作稳健，关键是他热爱这个运动。全程实打实的四个小时，非常惊险刺激，还是很考验体力的，实在太对得起这个票价了。唯一的遗憾是不提供摄影，没有留下照片，不过也可以理解，毕竟整个过程刺激危险，需要全神贯注在安全上，下次去会自己带GoPro. 再次给Percy点个赞!

Whitewater Rafting
Amazing Rafting experience, guides were awesome and always felt safe in the Raft. Some nice rapids made for a lot of fun. There was one section were we had to get out and transverse a rock area that had some serious safety concerns, but this was out of their control. They could improve on hygeine of the equipment the tub of sanitiser had floating skin and the helmets once wet dripped and smelled of stale sweat. Dissapointed we could not take gopro to share our experience with family and friends. Rafting part was definitely a great experience despite the issues.

Super expérience
Une expérience impressionnante dans des conditions rassurantes. Tout est prévu et l'encadrement est optimal. Pas besoin d'avoir de l'expérience en rafting même si le niveau de la descente est exigeant. Il suffit de savoir nager et aimer l'adrénaline. Je recommande!
