L'activité effrayait un peu, c'était impressionnant mais super sympa, nous avons eu un guide anglais, beaucoup de mal à comprendre son accent italien.. La sortie était sympa, courte mais bon et pour atteindre les gorges au point de rencontre c'est très compliqué, il faut s'y prendre bien à l'avance, certains ne sont pas très aimable quand j'ai voulu demander comment je pouvais les rejoindre ….

Nous avons trouvé le temps passé dans l'eau trop court comparé à la description et la durée totale de l'activité. Nous avons notamment dû attendre que les vehicules fassent un aller-retour pour emmener la totalité du groupe. Plus de temps a attendre que le groupe entier (13 personnes mini) passe chaque étape qu'à avancer. Au total : 4 sauts, quelques passages de rafting, mais pas de grandes sensations de glissade. Le niveau de la rivière était plus bas que ce nous imaginions, bien que cela ne soit en rien dû aux organisateurs.

Very fun, some jumps are a little bit scary but the guides help you through it and they give you an exciting rush.

  • 5 / 5

Good jumps, friendly and funny guides.

  • 5 / 5

Thé activity was just amazing, with 3 or 4 jumps in the water from various heights (2..4..7 m). The biggest one I passed because I was too scared and the guide was very supportive and he came with me to join the group on the adventure. The guides are very attentive to everyone and he explains multiple times what to do. The info for how to get there was correct and clear. If you want to test your scare limits, I RECOMMEND 1000%
