What to expect

Expect a physically engaging three hours on moving water. You'll start with instruction from your guide, then paddle through sections ranging from moderate to demanding whitewater. The river corridor narrows and widens; you'll navigate drops and read current changes. Scrambling down and up steep riverside steps happens at the beginning and end—the paths are maintained but require sure footing. Between rapids, you'll float through quieter pools surrounded by dense greenery. Afterwards, shower facilities and a meal let you recover before heading back.
