About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Mxkeed0 contributionsA great way to see the local environmentA lovely, fairly lazy, trip down the river. Lots to see and learn and very relaxing swimming. Our guide, Maxi, was really attentive and made the trip fun with his sense of humour. Although you get very wet with s few things this isn’t ‘white water’ rafting but a great experience all the same.Written August 31, 2019
- Shazhill0 contributionsFabulous family activityHusband, I and 2 teenagers enjoyed a day rafting. We had water fights with those on other rafts, time to swim and also to stop off and see the caves. We do not speak Spanish but our guide translated for us and ensured we had a fabulous experience.Written August 25, 2019
- DT55000 contributionsRafting tripA fantastic family day out. I have two children aged 8 and 11. We all thoroughly enjoyed the trip, good fun with friendly staff. Best day of the holiday without doubt. Highly recommended.Written August 20, 2019
- warbylamb0 contributionsExcellent morning raftingThis was a very well run and well organised trip down the Segura river to see prehistoric cave drawings and wild life. We were the only English family and they made sure we had a guide that could translate for us (slightly embarrassed that we can’t speak Spanish!) and he was superb. We had so much fun and the guides were knowledgable and friendly. I can’t wait to try a different activity next year; we will definitely use this company again.Written August 13, 2019

- timminsaj0 contributionsExcellent experience!An excellent few hours spent this morning rafting. Staff were fantastic, very informative and helpful. Very reasonably priced too. We went with our 7 year old and he's already asking to go back. Would highly recommend!Written August 3, 2019
- Georgina H0 contributionsA MUST FOR EVERYONE!I was fully impressed with this company, very professional, amazing price and great communication. We went as a family rafting with two parents, myself a 24 year old, a teenage brother and my autistic brother who was very nervous, but my guide took extra care to make sure he felt comfortable and he loved the whole experience! Our guide made extra effort all they way, explaining things to us in English the whole way making us feel included, telling us about the plants and animals along the rafting trip. My teenage brother enjoyed jumping off the cliff at the end, everyone is very professional, fully insured and very skilled! The snack for €2 is very worth the money, you get unlimited drinks at the end and a giant French stick full of chorizo or tuna which did us for dinner at 8pm! I recommend this to everyone of all ages and abilities, fantastic experience, and the rafting was only €16 each!! 😃😃😃Written August 22, 2018
- lesleytoddy0 contributionsAmazing rafting adventure for the whole familyWe are a family party of eleven, aged 7 to 69. We had an amazing rafting trip down the river with an opportunity to swim, have water fights, see ancient cave paintings and learn about the history and fauna of the river, Chimney (sorry about the spelling!} was a very good, fun, knowledgeable guide. We were provided with lunch and drinks. A great Trip, very well organised from my first contact with the team. Highly recommend this trip if you are looking for something different to do.Written August 20, 2018

Fantastic! This activity is a must do when visiting the area. We drove 1 hr 30 mins from Playa Flamenca and it was well worth it. We went with our two children (7 and 10) and my mother who is 70 and physically disabled. I whatsapped in advance to see if it would be suitable for my mother and the response was quick and helpful. They helped her onto the raft and let her sit wherever was most comfortable. She had the option of staying on the raft during the trip out to the caves but she was able to get on and off with support. They also explained in advance that she could exit the raft a few minutes before the end, where she would be driven back to the car park to wait for us as the final walk was a very steep 5 min hike from the raft to the car park.
Antonio was our tour guide and he was brilliant. Such a friendly, happy and enthusiastic man who was full of local information and clearly enjoyed his job.
The scenery is breathtaking. We went for the 10am slot and it was a really pleasant temperature especially as a lot of the trip was under shadows at that time. Not sure how it would be at the 4pm slot.
We had 2 chances to jump off the raft and swim. The water is not clear but it was a really cool temperature and quite fast moving which made it a lot of fun. Like a real life lazy river! It was so refreshing! My son loved doing front flips and back flips off the raft. Your feet will get wet even if you don’t choose to swim so make sure you have appropriate shoes. It wouldn’t have been comfortable in trainers.
A great thing about the tour is that they take photos so that you don’t have to worry about taking anything except water with you on the trip. You can enjoy it without worrying about taking photos. These then get whatsapped to you a few days later for no extra cost.
You are on the raft for approx 1.45 mins after the time to do safety briefing and get equipped with helmets and life jackets.
A perfect trip and one we will do every year we visit from now on.

This was a very unique experience while visiting the area! We had some apprehensions when we booked because we speak very little Spanish and it felt far away from where we are staying in Cartagena, but after reading other reviews decided to go for it.
When you meet up at the restaurant you follow the tour vans over to the starting point a few mins drive away & then everyone gets out there except the drivers of the cars that take all the cars down to the finish spot, making it easier at the end. This worried me a little having my husband leave me and drive away being in another country and worrying about safety but it felt very safe as they were friendly and there were lots of kids with us (including one in a wheelchair that was able to do the entire boat tour including getting out at the cave paintings) in a big group. They had us leave our dry clothing and phone & belongings etc in our cars so we’d have them at the end as well putting only our keys in a safe dry float. This was also a little concerning about security of belonging in the car but we learned it’s a very desolate protected area and I’m pretty sure the only people we encountered the entire day was with this same tour company on another tour. I also wondered how we’d get pictures of this cool experience without our phones but they take pictures and a lot of different times and locations along the way and then will provide them to you in a link a few days after the tour, which is also included in the very very reasonable price.
We were the only English speaking couple in a group of about 30-(3 rafts) but our guide was fantastic and took extra time with explaining everything to us in English(helping both us with some Spanish and him with some new English). The educational info on the tour was very interesting and more than I expected. I highly recommend taking the time to get out and do this adventure! I would do another tour with this company as well as they were organized and very friendly, even offering restaurant recommendations at the end. I would say maybe bring a snack and extra water in your can for the end, we were hungry and ready to eat when we finished. What a fun adventure & experience of a lifetime! 🛶🏞🚹

Truly fabulous
Excellent instruction to the meet up point from where you follow the van to drop off none drivers to the start of the rafting experience. Drivers continue to leave cars at the end before jumping in the minibus back down to the start.
The rafting itself is fun and very relaxed in the beautiful river being talked through the surrounding landscape by funny and educational guides.
The cave paintings and explanation are worth seeing!
Floating in the river we just divine and splash wars between the boats hilarious.
Thank you - an absolute bargain for the price for a trip the whole family can enjoy

Rafting down the canyon was fantastic for all three of us. I certainly wasn't rushed hence value for money was excellent. Initial safety instructions and equipment was well rehearsed and everything was clear. The sights we experienced were very new to us and the water splash fights between two rafts with the oars was great fun. everyone ended up wet through, which was welcome with the 30°C temperatures. In between the downstream paddling and splashing we were taken to see the ancient cave paintings.
After this long evening rafting we were all invited to a party although disappointingly we couldn't stay as we had a long drive back to our resort.
Fantastic thoroughly recommendable safe family experience for all ages.

Spectacular walk, the treatment was unbeatable from the moment Noelia managed the Reservation. On the descent we were joined by David (the wig) who made our experience unique with pleasant explanations and some laughter. We will definitely repeat. THANK YOU for making us enjoy.

What a brilliant day and great value for money. Our guide Ishmael was very knowledgable about the flora and fauna along the river and gave us lots of information about the cave paintings that we were able to see. It was a hot day 33c but paddling down the river was very refreshing and you could even jump in for a dip. Definitely recommended for all ages.

An incredible experience with Canyon and Multi-adventure Canyon. All the instructors are professionals, who ensure that the excursion is an unforgettable memory, but without running any risk. From the beginning of the adventure they have everything super organized and they give you all the guidelines to follow. In addition, the excursion is made super enjoyable with the explanations of the flora and fauna of the area. I want to thank our monitor, José, who made us spend a super enjoyable and fun afternoon and who was attentive to all of us at all times. Bathing in the river is incredible and the landscape that you can see during the tour is priceless. So I recommend the experience to everyone and if it is with Cañón y Cañon even more so. We are looking forward to repeating.

Absolutely brilliant experience, highly recommend. We have a 15 year old and 10 year old and they both it....swimming down the river was brilliant. The guides were fantastic, so passionate and knowledgeable as well as great fun. Our guide spoke in both Spanish and English and even took us (English) to one side to give us the same experience as the rest of the group but in English.

It was a fantastic experience! It is suitable for young and old which makes the activity fun for everyone. It is true that adults or children over 12 years old do have to paddle along but this is doable, many hands make light work. We had a lot of explanations from Ismael, Alba and the other colleagues which made it easy to follow. Along the way there are 2 stops including 1 where you get out of the boat to see the petroglyphs, impressive! In addition, you stay in an otter cave with your boat for a while, the otters sleep but you get enough explanation to imagine it, they don't like noise so don't show themselves easily during the day with all those river visitors;) We had a very nice experience and even doubt to go again, but then the trip with more excitement, descents and speed. And again; Ismael thank you, we enjoyed you as Guide! It was a top experience with lots of coziness in a beautiful setting.
