Great fun experience

We were picked up on time. The tour was super fun. Our guide thomas was great. No one fell out of the raft haha. At first I was hesitating to try this, but it wasn't scary at all. Must try :)

It was OK

Our instructor was awesome but the rafting itself was mostly spent waiting for other boats to go through the rapids. There were WAY too many people in the groups. So you were waiting for people before and after to go through the rapids. It was almost boring. I thought it was just me as I had done some rafting at other places but my partner said the same thing and it was his first time. The equipment and instructors were great and honestly Izzy, our guide was the only thing that stopped me from giving this a one star. She was really knowledable and did a great job at building rapport. Shame the Tully was closed due to the floods.
