A brilliant morning , never rafted before and not a natural thrill seeker but this was a perfect start . Stunning scenery, soca river amazing. Instructors David and Pierre perfect balance of feeling competent and secure but a little risk taking – jumping in from rocks and slides if we wanted. Would recommend. Worth noting price doesn’t include the river taxes. Free public parking 2 mins from meeting point
