We first booked rafting with Manawa about a month ago but they already warned us that the water level might be too low because of the drought. So manawa offered to switch to aqua hiking. Which we did and it was great fun. Floating calmly in the river while looking at the vultures and the gorges was absolute zen. And then there were soms rapids too add some thrills. Optional were some jumps which we all did, but this was not obliged.
