    Awesome fun experiencing the Yarra river rapids! Paul made the adventure fun and explained everything really well! Dave and I had a great time getting stuck on rocks and mastering the PinBall! Great way to spend a Saturday morning! Bring a change of clothes!

    Excellent morning!!! Highly recommend... it’s like being a tourist in your own city! Paul was patient and lots of fun with clear instruction. Great for first timers as river is low at this time of year, but enough to get a taste. Planning my next trip with this company already!

    It was great fun and not too difficult for beginners. The instructor was clear, patient, flexible with our needs and fun to raft with. Scenery was great too if you want a day away from the city. Recommended!

    This experience was good fun, safe and organised well! We had a great morning getting out of the city. Kate & Paul did a great job at explaining the safety and rapids along the way, guiding us through. The river water levels were high for us which meant we didn’t get stuck on as many rocks, but even if you do get stuck on rocks, you can in most cases get out of the boat safely and pull your boat off the rock, it isn’t too deep. Be prepared to get at least from your waist down wet and bring some spare clothes and shoes. My partner and I thought the rapids were very easy to navigate and were probably expecting a few bigger ones but it was relaxing. I would have also preferred the experience to go on a little longer, as it was pretty much arrive, Park the car, get in raft, go down the river, pack up raft, then everyone left. Our tour took 2hrs all together. I would have also loved for it to be a bit more interactive with the other people there, as we never got to know any of them as there was no time. A group photo would have been cool too, to post on Facebook or share. Overall it was a fun and enjoyable morning!

    Had a great day, plenty of instruction from Paul and Kate, they helped you through as you went along. Water level was a bit low (nobody has any control over that), which meant we got stuck on a few rocks, which wasn't a bad thing, just meant we had to get better at steering quickly! Good for beginners, nice views of the hills as we went along, even saw a wild wombat. Would recommend!
