What to expect

You'll meet your guide at the base, get fitted into your wetsuit and safety gear, then shuttle to the put-in. The paddle itself runs about an hour—expect splashing, instruction on technique, and the river's genuine thrill as you navigate white water as a crew. It's supervised but real; the adrenaline hits are genuine. Once you're back on dry land, you can shower, change, and head to the restaurant for a proper rest with views of the water.

Good to know
