Review
- Cheaper than any other company offering the activity
- High-quality equipment, accommodating staffs and guide
- We decided to take the advanced course ( 21 rapids 3-4 hours with packed lunch – rice, pork with egg and bottled water). Free pick up from your hotel.
- Ask for Kuya Jojo as your guide. He is funny and talkative. Never a dull moment when he was our guide ( He also offers rappelling, mountain climbing, tour guiding or any adventure you can think of in the city)
