We went on the Dart River Funyak tour. There were 5 of us - 2 adults, 2 girls aged 11 and 9 and a 6 year old boy. Right from the pickup the weather was marginal and on the way to Dart River we were offered the option of transferring to another day. No mention of cancelling though. And we... More

This tour is pricey; however, Louis of Happy Travels was convincing! Tomas should emphasize that the wet suit is inside out so that those who we not paying attention would not have worn it inverted and would not have had difficulty. We love Geoff's spins in the river.
