I was really nervous about going whitewater rafting for the first time. I kept thinking of the movie River Wild and imagined all sorts of horrific scenarios but as it turned out, I had one of the best times! Our guide was Uri (not sure about the spelling) and he was so personable. He entertained us with jokes and told us facts about the river. I felt we were in good hands and safe. The river was so beautiful and peaceful. It was the perfect balance of rapids and having time to take in the wildlife and great conversation. Uri told us we could swim in the calm parts of the river and it was wonderful! We got to jump off two rocks that were quite high. That was quite the rush!!! Lunch was accompanied with an optional hike which our guide told us facts about the area, showed us his favorite tree, wildlife and led us to two refreshing waterfalls. I’m planning on coming back soon! Thank you soooooooo much for a wonderful day and a wonderful memory.
