Review Body: Super experience - highly recommend. McQueen and his team were brilliant. It's well organised, good quality boats, life jackets and good number of the team accompanying you and supervising, so you feel safe.
It's an amazing experience listening to the sounds of the forest as you glide down the river.
First stop is for a waterfall. You get out of the boat and walk up a small stream to the fall. It's not large but it's fun. It's not an easy walk so I would wait in the boat if you're not confident but don't let it put you off the kayaking.
Second stop is to feed the fish and take in the peace and the view.
Third stop is for a swim in the current which is fun.
At the end they provide a tasty lunch.
They take photos as you go and email them afterwards - great quality!
Highly recommend the experience - we had two teenagers with us and they loved it. Great way to interact with the forest and have fun at the same time. Great memories - thank you!
Recommend footwear like water shoes/boat shoes as you walk in the water at each stop.

Review Body: A fun and enjoyable first kayaking experience for me! As I came solo, I was paired up with the team leader in a kayak. He was nice to explain and point out the different types of trees and made sure we got to take pictures at the limestone areas, and shared stories about the locals staying near the river. The whole route was about 10km. The home cooked lunch included in the experience was simple but nice; I had 2 servings! The return and pickup van ride to the kayaking location was timely and a comfortable ride too.
Useful tip: Do bring along a waterproof storage bag for your phones and wear shoes suitable for water sports! I bought a pair from decathlon for about sgd7. Trust me, you dont wanna sacrifice your socks and shoes to the river.

Review Body: The provided equipment was excellent. I really appreciated the safety briefing and the demonstration of how to use the kayak before we started. We were accompanied by several guides who always kept an eye on the group. The route is beautiful and easy to navigate. The lunch was delicious, and the opportunity to take a shower afterwards was a great bonus. The pick-up service was the perfect addition! The photos were already sent to us by email just two hours later. Absolutely recommend this experience for a day trip outside the city!

Review Body: It was great!! Very enjoyable activity kayaking down the river. Extra love love the part we got to do body rafting which is just floating down following the river tide. Super fun day trip in itself but the guides make it even better. Me and my partner were stuck far, far behind and Carl, one of the guides just slowly patiently paddled with us while sharing with us about the surroundings. He takes greattt pics too! MacQueen the owner is the bomb - funny, cool, knowledgable and generally just great fun. Really recommend this!!

Review Body: I really enjoyed this activity. The guide, Macqueen explains about the village around the river. I also felt very safe as there were 3 guides following the group so none of us will be left behind. One of the guide even took photos of us while we were kayaking. So at the end of the activity we will get all the photos. Lunch is also provided đ

Review Body: Really enjoyed this kayaking activity, beautiful river to kayak down with a few exciting rapids. The guides were great and lunch afterwards was delicious. Only thing I wasnât a fan of was stopping to feed to the fish for 20 minutes I didnât think it was necessary but apart from that a great trip.

Review Body: Beautiful location, guides made sure we were safe but still upbeat, happy and engaging. Iâm not travelling with kids but they were great with the kids on our trip. Food and showers at the end were great. Such a great day - we all nodded off on the trip back to the hotel. Thanks for a great day.

Review Body: A truly unique experience. The guides are very nice and professional, whereas some of the views along the river are quite stunning. The showers and lunch at the end of the tour are also quite welcome, as you will likely be tired, soaked and hungry (but fullfilled ;-) )
