 Verified Amazing rafting experience for families We were a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids. The amazing Kosta was our guide. He calmly and pleasantly explained everything, made sure we feel comfortable and practice the rafting instructions. The kids LOVED it. He explain led about the river and surrounding while we were rafting along the river. The view was amazing (even though it was December). It wasn’t cold at all due the suits and equipment they provided. I’d highly recommend and already planning the same thing in summer :) thank you for a great experience

 Verified Voidomatis river rafting Costas was a very good guide. The fee was reasonable. It took around 2 hours for the whole experience. The 6km stretch of the river was beautiful. The water was crystal clear. We were only 2 of us as it was off season but we still had a great experience.
