So much fun. Guides were excellent. We felt safe while still experiencing the thrills of going over 2 waterfalls and in rapids. Beautiful setting and great pics. Definitely a must do

Had awesome time on the river for the first time. Hamish was down to earth guide who made sure we had a great experience. Thank you so much Hamish and the team for making great experience for our team from the country of Mount Everest. We will do rafting again with you guys as it wasn't enough :)

The team at Cascades were awesome. My groomsmen organised it as a stag activity and we all had a blast. The cliff jump at the end was an awesome finish

Heaps of fun! Went with my 15 year old son. Contemplated going back for the afternoon booking but will wait for other family to join us next time. Always wanted to go white water rafting and finally ticked it off. Good gear was provided, guides were fun and made it all feel safe. Definitely recommend 100%.

Had a great time doing this. 2nd time on the River, but first for my Partner who isn't the biggest fan of deep moving water etc. But she had a blast as well. Hamish was our Guide, he was easy going, fun and ensured we all felt comfortable. He was also real good at explaining a bit about the local history and that everyone got to try something on the journey.
Cheers Team
