Know that for us, Rafting is not only a party on the river but also a party at the end of the evening where friends, adrenaline and humour are gathering! For us, Rafting is THE best way to celebrate our friendships. Because when we plan on such a day, we want to call those we see often and those we would like to see more often.
Why choose us? Apart from our philosophy: "Our place is yours!" and the fact that we take our time on the river, let me list a few factors that we think are important.”
