“Great guides all around! Out of all boats on the river the Tornado Rafting guides gave the most fun and ambiance. The buggy riding was also amazing. Fun track with lots of deep, wet puddles. One thing to note: bring closed watershoes, bandana, sunglasses for buggy/quad, towel. These are not included in the price and can be bought there for reasonable prices. However, if you have it, you can bring it yourself.”

The camera man sold my friend and I pictures and videos that he had taken throughout the day which we paid for to be sent them once he’d put it all together, nevertheless and sad to say we only got pictures, he didn’t send any videos. Please go on this trip but DO NOT be fooled by the photographer”

“Would highly recommend! The trip was great, our tour guide mert was amazing and made the whole day even better. The river is so beautiful and the rafting is great with places to stop and swim as well as fast parts. The buggying was good but I think some people found it a little underwhelming so just be aware that you do have to follow the group when you go - although still worth it I think! I wasn’t sure what to bring but if anyone is wondering the same: - swimwear - clothes you don’t mind getting very wet - suncream (apply before you can’t take on the river)…”
