★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 75 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $79

Review of Cusco’s Urubamba River rafting and zipline day trip, with rapids, lunch, sauna, safety tips, price, and practical advice.

“Amerigo of the Mayuc rafting company was our guide for our daylong zip line and rafting experience. He met us at our hotel and walked us to where the van was parked. Cesar drove us to the lodge, which was about 2 hours away, on the other side of Urcos. We ziplined first, across the river and back. Each trip was quick but enjoyable. We did it first because it was the rainy season, and when it rains in the Cusco area, one event comes through in the early afternoon. By the way, the rainy season should not be ignored in the area near Cusco, for rafting or any other…”

8.Telluride 1 Day Rafting Trip with Lunch – San Miguel River

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 55 reviews · 5 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $233

Raft the San Miguel River near Telluride through Class II and III rapids, with lunch, gear, shuttle service, and expert guides included.

“The San Miguel is one of our favorite wild rivers to raft. We've been on it with high water and low, but never as low as it was for this trip. M2W gave us the option of cancel and take a credit, but we chose to go ahead. Even then, the full day trip became 2 runs at the same half-day section since the lower portion was totally un-runnable.”

Review the Kiulu River rafting and ATV day trip from Kota Kinabalu, with practical advice on timing, safety, lunch, value, and what to bring.

“Jeden z nejlepších dnů, který jsme za tři týdny na Borneu prožili. Perfektně organizovaný výlet. Výborné jídlo. Raft, ale hlavně čtyřkolky byly super! Po návratu domů jsme pak zjistili, že jsme na jedné zastávce nechali batoh. Náš skvělý průvodce se pro něj vracel a skutečně jej později večer přivezl. Moc děkujeme! Tento výlet a všechny lidi, které jsme dnes potkali můžeme vřele doporučit. Ještě jednou děkujeme!!!”

13.From Kandy: Kelani River White Water Rafting Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 5 reviews

Review of Kandy to Kelani River rafting, including rapids, stops, price, safety, transport, what to bring, and who should book.

“A pleasant trip with a very courteous driver. He made every effort to find restrooms, a bench, etc. The rafting was relatively easy, with no difficult sections. We were on the water for about 1 to 1.25 hours. A recommended additional excursion (about an hour for $20) is a hike to a tributary of the Kelani River, featuring a type of canyoning that includes jumping into the river from a height of 3 meters (with helmet and life jacket). We were able to customize the itinerary for the return trip. A lovely little tea factory with a generous tasting was also included. Thank you!”
