For the adventurous heart! We had such a great time from arrival to the end. My husband is healthy and in good shape so he really enjoyed himself. I’m a plus size woman and honestly I was nervous about being able to do this. To be honest, if you can keep your mind strong (don’t overthink it) and trust your body then definitely consider this adventure because the views and the feeling of accomplishment at the end is so empowering. It will push you, but the guides are so capable of keeping you safe and on course you have nothing to worry about. You’ll need to do some walking to get to the river and have decent arm strength and leg strength to manage your sledge, but after that it’s pure fun! Thank you to our guides who were super patient, considerate, and understanding as we went along our adventure. You made our day awesome!

My friends and I had the BEST time sledging and wish we could’ve gone twice. Our guides were Ben and Coruzo who took great care of us and made us feel safe and prepared the whole time! Give those two a raise!!! cmon!! If you’re Bens mum reading this - he’s doing great, no need to worry! 10/10 recommend if you’re up for the challenge, it’s not for everyone so know what you’re getting into!

Great experience! Whilst the rafting was great fun, it wasn't as scary as it looked. The sledging is both much more exciting and harder than I expected. Very different to the rafting, glad I did both

I bought the photo package after river sledging. They weren't uploaded in the initial Dropbox link that was sent out (other rafting times that day did have their photos uploaded). I had multiple exchanges of emails with the company, where they said things like "oh we're just doing it now", "we'll do it today and let you know when it's done" etc, none of which happened. I've asked for a refund for the photo package... no response. The river sledging itself was fun.
