We have no experience before but so glad that we chose this ‘extreme’ version. The trip is very well organised. We meet directly at the ‘centre’, the organiser provided wetsuit, helmet and other things, shoes can also be rented. Then we were driven to the starting point. All the bags and dry clothes can be left at the van and they reappeared at the finishing point. It was very convenient.”

“The tour was good. The landscape was amazing. The tour group was to big, the guides couldn‘t look after everyone. Also we booked the basic tour and not the extreme one. But the groups were all together. The only difference was that we had to climbe down the rocks and the other tour could get down by rope. So there were a few times were we had to wait for the extreme tour in the cold water. One time it was about 40 minutes. So all together it was a nice experience but i would not book it again.”
