The rafting was great fun,
The rafting was great fun, and the guides excellent. The only disappointment was the lack of water in the river, and thus the guides having to lift the raft over the rocks on a number of occasions when we were stuck. They even pointed out the the river was well below the normal water line level that day.

we had a ball
As fifty year olds we had a ball. The guides were clear to understand. Very capable in their jobs, making us feel 100% safe. And the interaction with the other people with good nature made us refer this experience to every one down here.

Lots of fun on Barron River
We had a fun afternoon of rafting in perfect conditions. The guides were very professional and thorough in their instructions, but lots of fun as well. Roddy & Dan were standouts! The only downside was the time spent waiting around between rapids, but all in all a good time.
