A superb river side lunch is served prepared fresh by our guides right in front of your eyes. Boats are either run as paddle boats where you participate by paddling as a team with a guide sitting in the back steering, oar boats where guests hang on as we run the rapids or combo boats where the guide rows and you paddle (which is good if there are some outgoing members of your party and some who are happy to just hang on).
