“A fun packed family white water rafting adventure that is exhilarating and a great family bonding adventure. Suitable for all ages without any previous experience. Stunning wilderness scenery location that traverses approximately 14km of canyon, lasting around 3 1/2 hours with at least 3 stops. Our total family package was €88 including transportation and lunch and rafting, representing excellent value for money and a fun family day out. The only negative aspects are upon arrival, at rafting location you are heavily persuaded (conned) into renting wetsuits at €5 each and informed water temp is below 7 deg C. (First lie, as It is actually around 13 to 15 Deg C).…”
