“We went at late May when the water was rising. So there are some places you can feel water pushing you really hard. I could never imagine myself going through rapid currents before I went on this trip. Our tour guides are experienced and responsible. Recommend for people who are looking for something new and thrilling.”

“My mom and I went together on our last day in Switzerland. The company was extremely welcoming and accommodating. We are not in the best physical shape and required a slower pace, and Geoff was incredibly patient and encouraging. Alex and Stefano were also very helpful. The activity is VERY physically demanding, so you must be able to climb, swim, and walk uphill. Overall, we are so thankful for this experience!”

“Brilliant family activity. Suited us well, the right amount of adventure and excitement to suit us all. Guides were friendly and confident. They ensured we had a fab time.

I felt uncomfortable and a little exposed changing there.”
